Large thick octavo, 628pp., illustrated. About very good in the publisher's green cloth. Some internal foxing, including to the plates. Engraving of Rosa Bonheur at the front is partially detached, but still holding. Mild wear to corners and fading to the gilt on the front board. Still a sound, crisp example. Wonderful Progressive-leaning collection of biographical essays on notable women of the period, including Florence Nightingale, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and others.
