Les Guérilléres [Jill Johnston's copy] by Wittig, Monique - 1971

New York City: The Viking Press, 1971. Hardcver. VG+/VG. Cloth octavo in just-jacket, VG/VG, 144 pages. One of the most widely read feminist texts of the twentieth century, this copy is from the library of the late great Jill Johnston (1929-2010), critic, radical lesbian feminist and champion of the avant-garde, and it bears her distinctive stamp in blue ink to the front free endpaper which reads "Write first. then live." J.J. / The book has a bit of age-toning to foot of spine, otherwise binding is tight and pages are clean. Dust-jacket show minor edge-wear with one chip & closed tear, some darkening along corners and rubbing especially on the back cover. Wittig & Johnston had many common goals and were colleagues and friends.
