First paperback edition of Joye Ladner’s first book, published in 1972 by Anchor Books/Doubleday & Company. 8vo (4.5” x7”), pictorial wrappers, 296 pages plus publisher’s advertisements. Cover design by Jim McWilliams with a photograph by Bob Fletcher. Inscribed by Ladner on the half-title: “To Joyce Jones/Joyce Ladner.”
An important early work of Black feminist sociology, based on Ladner’s field research with Black adolescent girls in St. Louis and challenging prevailing sociological models that characterized Black family and community life in terms of pathology and deviance. Originally published in 1971, the book became an important contribution to Black studies, women’s studies, and the sociology of race and gender. Hinges weakened. Bumping and rubbing to extremities, with chipping to edges. A well-used but intact copy, considerably enhanced by the contemporary authorial inscription.
