Condition: Near fine. First Edition. Scarce first edition of this introduction to feminist therapy by the Women & Therapy Collective - from the library of groundbreaking Black feminist Barbara Smith. Barbara Smith's life and career as a Black lesbian feminist activist has had an immense impact upon multiple fields. She was the a…uthor, co-author, or editor of many of the founding documents of Black feminism, from the epochal 1977 Combahee River Collective Statement (a work credited with largely establishing the intersectional theory Davis applies here); to TOWARD A BLACK FEMINIST CRITICISM (1977), "the earliest theoretical statement on black feminist criticism" (McDowell); to HOME GIRLS: A BLACK FEMINIST ANTHOLOGY (1983), issued by her Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press (co-founded with Beverly Smith, Cherríe Moraga, and Audre Lorde, and which also republished THIS BRIDGE CALLED MY BACK). Smith's papers were recently placed at the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America at Harvard Radcliffe Institute; the Schlesinger not acquiring duplicate titles, this book comes directly from Smith's remaining library. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original saddle-stapled red pictorial wrappers. [2], 42 pages. From the library of Barbara Smith, with her address label to first leaf. Minor edgewear.
