First commercial and first expanded edition early paperback issue. Illustrations. 276pp. 4to. "In May of 1969 as the women's movement was gaining momentum and influence in the Boston area and elsewhere around the country a group of women met during a 'female liberation conference' at Emmanuel College. In a workshop on 'Women and Their Bodies' they shared their experiences with doctors and their frustration at how little they knew about how their bodies worked. The discussions were so provocative and fulfilling that they formed the Doctor's Group the forerunner to the Boston Women's Health Book Collective to find out more about their bodies their lives their sexuality and relationships and to talk with each other about what they learned. They decided to put their knowledge into an accessible format that could be shared and would serve as a model for women to learn about themselves communicate their findings with doctors and challenge the medical establishment to change and improve the care that women receive. In 1970 they worked with the New England Free Press to publish a 193-page course book on stapled newsprint entitled "Women and Their Bodies." The book was revolutionary for its frank talk about sexuality and abortion which was then illegal. The cost: 75 cents. In 1971 they changed the title to 'Our Bodies Our Selves' to emphasize women taking full ownership of their bodies . In 1972 after strenuous debate the group of founding authors decided to publish with a mainstream publisher in order to reach a wider audience. They formally incorporated as the Boston Women's Health Book Collective and negotiated a contract with Simon & Schuster that included a 70 percent clinic discount for low-income women and provision for a U.S. Spanish translation. The first commercial expanded edition of "Our Bodies Ourselves" was published in 1973" https://www.ourbodiesourselves.org/our-story/. <br/><br/> Simon & Schuster paperback

The top corners of both letters are lightly creased with the right corners slightly darkened and both are folded twice for mailing. Together with the September mailing envelope. Very good. <p>Two splendidly detailed and discursive letters from one psychiatrist to another. Dr. Mezer writes to Dr. Foxe in August 1957 after reading Foxe's book "Studies in Criminology". Mezer explains that the Division of Legal Medicine offering psychiatric services to prisoners and parolees has only recently been established and he asks many questions about Foxe's experience of treating patients in a prison setting. He plans also to read Foxe's book "Crime and Sexual Development".<p>Mezer writes his second letter in September 1957 after Foxe has sent him copies of "Crime and Sexual Development" and "The Life and Death Instincts". He muses at length about Foxe's ideas: "I found myself wondering if some of the conclusions were on the basis of the associations of your patients or on the basis of your own interpretations and formulations. For example why is robbery with a gun late anal rather than phallic that is might not the gun be a phallic symbol. Another example might be seeing the car as a female symbol instead of as symbolic of intercourse. This is not said in any critical light as our limited case material to date tends to confirm the primitive pre-genitality you describe."<p>Mezer author of "Dynamic Psychiatry in Simple Terms" 1960 examined Albert DeSalvo "The Boston Strangler" at the request of F. Lee Bailey. Mezer shocked the courtroom by reporting. "DeSalvo told me he was the strangler.He told me he strangled 13 women.and he went into details of some of them telling me some of the most intimate acts he committed."<p>A psychiatrist and criminologist Dr. Foxe was also an avid collector of skating books and even published a skating bibliography.
