This review is from: The Struggle for Women's Rights: Theoretical and Historical Sources (Paperback)

I got the book in a decent amount of time, and there are no pages missing or huge damaged sections or anything like that. A few sections have writing in, but I wasn't expecting it to be perfectly new. I definitely got my money's worth out of the purchase.
