The Subjection of Women. Paris, Guillaumin, 1869. In-12, paperback. First French edition. An important essay. “The social relations between the two sexes, which subordinate one sex to the other in the name of the law, are wrong in themselves and constitute today one of the principal obstacles to the progress of humanity; I believe they must give way to perfect equality, with no privilege or power for one sex, nor incapacity for the other.” - SHAW (Bernard). A Guide for the Intelligent Woman in the Face of Socialism and Capitalism. Paris, Montaigne, 1929. In-8, paperback. First French edition. 1/278 numbered copies on tinted alfa paper. Written for Shaw’s sister-in-law, Mary Stewart Cholmondeley, the “intelligent woman” who had asked him to explain “in a few words” what socialism was, this substantial volume was first published in London in 1928. In it, Shaw made a passionate defence of feminism, attributing a large part of the ills of modern societies to the unjust inequality between the sexes and the ‘dispossession’ of women. In 1937, he published a revised and expanded version under the title *The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism and Fascism*, which has never been published in France. - LEROY-BEAULIEU (Paul).
