Golden Notebook By Doris Lessing 1962 Bantam Paperback (8th printing, 1979)

Description: One of the most important books of the growing feminist movement of the 1950s, it was brought to a wider public by the Nobel Prize award to Doris Lessing in 2007. Authoress Anna Wulf attempts to overcome writer's block by writing a comprehensive 'golden notebook' which draws together the preoccupations of her life, each of which is examined in a different notebook: sources of her creative inspiration in a black book, communism in a red book, the breakdown of her marriage in a yellow book, and day-to-day emotions and dreams in a blue book. Anna's struggle to unify the various strands of her life - emotional, political and professional - amasses into a fascinating encyclopedia of female experience in the '50s. In this authentic, taboo-breaking novel, Lessing brings the plight of women's lives, from obscurity behind closed doors, into broad daylight. The Golden Notebook resonates with the concerns and experiences of a great many women and is a true modern classic, thoroughly deserving of its reputation as a feminist bible. Nice rack-size paperback copy of this modern classic. Normal page discoloration but appears unread with a tight binding. Minor edgewear to front cover. Black and red ink marks and some fading on spine (see photo). Overall good to very good condition for a MMP of its age.
