What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

La mística de la feminidad" es un clásico del pensamiento feminista que se publicó originalmente en Estados Unidos en 1963. Se trata sobre todo de un libro de investigación respaldado por un abundante trabajo descriptivo, y sólo como consecuencia de esto se acaba convirtiendo en un libro militante, lo que lo aproxima al otro gran clásico del siglo XX, "El segundo sexo", de Simone de Beauvoir. Friedan llama "mística de la feminidad" a esa imagen de lo "esencialmente femenino", eso de lo que hablan y a lo que se dirigen las revistas para mujeres, la publicidad y los libros de autoayuda. Es una horma moral, fabricada en esos años, en la que se pretende, como en un lecho de Procusto, hacer vivir a todas las mujeres. Es algo inauténtico que, si se intenta llevar a cabo, produce consecuencias cada vez más graves. Comienza por un difuso malestar y termina por producir enfermedades verdaderas. Precisamente el libro comienza con un capítulo titulado "El malestar que no tiene nombre". Estamos ante un libro extraordinariamente influyente que ha resultado ser decisivo en el acompañamiento de uno de los cambios sociales más determinantes del siglo xx: la posición y autoconciencia de las mujeres como grupo.
