About this Item

Inscribed copy of author and activist Louise Meriwether?s debut novel, a bildungsroman based on her own experience growing up in Harlem during the Depression. Originally published in 1970 by Prentice Hall, and widely regarded as a groundbreaking and vital portrait of race, gender and class. First published by The Feminist Press in 1986; the present copy is the 4th Feminist Press printing from 1993. 8vo (5.5? x 8.5?), wrappers with cover art by Ernest Critchlow, 234 pages. With a Foreword by James Baldwin and an Afterword by Nellie McKay. Inscribed on the title page ?To Dorothy Kennedy, thank you for discovering me/Louise Meriwether.? The more-than-generic inscription by an author not known for book signings could indicate a personal, even collegial relationship with the recipient. In near fine condition, apparently unread.
