Rubbing to corners, light fraying at head and foot of spine, mild age toning to text block, and light wear consistent with age. Binding remains sound and text unmarked. A handsome Victorian-era volume celebrating notable women—authors, reformers, artists, queens, and heroines—with historical and literary interest.
