Item Details

Description

GILMAN, CHARLOTTE PERKINS
Human Work. New York: McClure, Phillips, 1904.

8vo, original brown gilt-stamped cloth. First edition by the famous feminist writer and grand-niece of Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Inscribed by Gilman on the f.f.e.p. to Alva Adams, "To a friend of mine and of progress, Alva Adams, with good will of the author, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, 1905." Additionally inscribed in a similar hand (unsigned), "Work - labor - something to do is the only wealth as it is the only specific for contentment." Alva Adams served three terms as Governor of Colorado where he made significant progress for the labor movement and human rights, by estabilishing the Bureau of Labor Statistics which forbade child labor, and passing a bill that ended public executions in Colorado.

Bookplate Alva Adams tipped in front pastedown; Southern Colorado State College Library stamps to endpapers and fore edge, but no external library markings; some rubbing to head and foot of spine; no internal tears or spotting; hinges tight. A fine association copy.
