1953365<p><strong>The very scarce uncorrected proof copy of the first English edition of this foundational text of contemporary feminism despite its being unsatisfactorily translated by H.M. Parshley and not given another translation for more than 50 years. The wife of Alfred Knopf Beauvoir s American publisher heard of the book while in Paris and asked Parshley a retired zoology professor for a book report which led to his translation which Alfred Knopf asked him to condense prior to publication. This Cape edition came out the same year. Despite its labored English-language birth the translation popularized the idea that in a patriarchal society women are perceived as "other" and that gender is a societal construct; and it inspired Betty Friedan author of The Feminine Mystique and at least one generation of women. Spine-cocked with binder's glue bleeding through; small edge tears at the extremities; a very good copy. Scarce fragile and a key volume in the history of gender relations. The book is now mylar protected and housed in a custom slipcase with a chemise and a red leather label. </strong></p> Jonathan Cape paperback

Quarto. xxx 732 xiv pp. Faint paperclip impression on a couple pages of the introduction a bit of gilt spine rubbed off bottom corner of rear board lightly bumped very good or better in a good only dust jacket with several tears creases and toning. Owner name of Clifford Sellers Henderson on front fly dated 1953 with the inscription: "Most disappointing limited point of view. C.S.H." Henderson was a founding editor of the Reader's Digest Book Club and was married to Ralph Ernest Henderson who was the creator and first editor in chief of The Reader's Digest Condensed Books. <br /> The book was possibly being considered for the book club or the condensed books as there is also a laid in note addressed to Ralph from someone named Harry possibly another editor with the initials "REH" at the top that reads: "Ralph: Goodness! I'm afraid I was misled by the ads. At any rate there is more in here about women than I think I want to contemplate on vacation. Thanks just the same. Harry. 2/3."<br /> The author's controversial book which was banned by the Vatican was considered a groundbreaking work of feminist philosophy and laid the groundwork for the second wave of feminism.
