19319766London: Jonathan Cape 1931. First edition. 8vo 158pp. Signed in full by Mitchison on the ffep. Publisher's patterned cloth boards spine lettered in red. Former owner's bookplate to ffep spine toned. Very good. <br /> <br /> Early collaborative play co-written by socialist novelist and feminist thinker Naomi Mitchison and Lewis Gielgud writer and humanitarian worker. Set amid revolutionary tensions the play follows characters forced to choose between loyalty love and ideology where "freedom" comes at the expense of personal compromise and strained relationships. Mitchison's influence brings a notable emphasis on women as active participants in political life rather than bystanders and reflects her ongoing engagement with questions of political freedom socialism and gender. The book itself is unaccountably scarce in the trade and represents an early dramatic work from Mitchison written during her most politically engaged period. Jonathan Cape unknown

Publishers blue cloth; gilt spine and cover titles; dustjacket; 208pp. Tight clean and unmarked with some mild darkening to endpapers; Near Fine. In the original printed dustwrapper priced $2.00 on spine panel; gently rubbed and worn with shallow losses at head at foot of spine panel and a small 1/4" chip to rear panel; Very Good. <br /> <br /> Future utopia set in the year 1950 in which the women of the world go on strike against matrimony using abstinence as a lever to take control of world government and eliminate war. The theme of "lysistratic nonaction" i.e. the "sex strike" is a recurring one in Progressive Era utopias appearing for example in George Noyes Miller's The Strike of A Sex 1891; Begum Rokeya's Sultana's Dream 1908 and less directly in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland 1915. In the current iteration written by a Missouri Methodist minister and issued by a religious publishing house the sexual implications of "non-matrimony" are left more or less to the reader's imagination. What the author does not shy away from is the validity and importance of women's recently-won political influence: "Feeling a real humiliation in the messed-up condition of world affairs brought about by my own sex I share the faith expressed by Mrs. J. Borden Harriman.that 'women may yet find some way to lead the race away from self-destruction'.and with Carrie Chapman Catt.that it is 'the task of women to demilitarize the minds of the world'" from the author's Preface. A somewhat uncommon and generally unrecognized feminist utopia rarely seen in dustwrapper; this a very clean copy. HANNA 407. SARGENT p.96. LEWIS Utopian Literature p.24.
