Boston: Ticknor, Reed, and Fields, 1854. First edition of Julia Ward Howe's first book. Octavo, original cloth with gilt titles to the spine, publisher's advertisements at rear dated 1853.

The content was considered divisive as it overtly voiced Howe's frustrations with gender inequality and the confines of gender roles in 19th century America.
