The persona I knew tended to be hardheaded diffident and a bit crusty though she made the rounds on behalf of her publisher a few years before her death when I was fortunately able and very pleased to speak with her briefly and to obtain her signature.<br/><br/>According to Elizabeth Hardwick "The Golden Notebook is Doris Lessing's most important work and has left its mark upon the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women"--The New York Times Book Review.<br/><br/>A tight bright clean copy. Dust jacket has a bit of rubbing at extremities; Random House remainder stamp on bottom of pages. Simon and Schuster hardcover
