Hardcover. Condizione: Near fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: near fine. First Edition. First printing in book form, octavo size, 212 pp., signed by Barbara Deming. Barbara Deming (1917-1984) tells, in this memoir, why and how she was jailed - not once, but twice - for participating in "an integrated cross-country peace walk" in Albany, Georgia. Deming was known for her advocacy for social change having been influenced by Gandhi, and was a prolific author. A committed lesbian, after a series of relationships (the first with the sister of Edna St. Vincent Millay) she lived the final years of her life, beginning in 1969, with the painter Jane Verlaine. This is a personal story, wherein she "recalls how, from within the jail - most of them fasting - they succeeded finally in altering the city's rigid stand, and how it felt to endure in their cramped and filthy cages until they did succeed" (n.b., from jacket flap). Her story was originally related as a serial in "Liberation". ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full light rust cloth over boards, brown lettering on the spine, top edge stained red, light brown endpapers with Deming's signature in blue ink on the front free endpaper, with nineteen pages of reproductions of black-and-white photographs in a separate section at the rear; binding octavo size (8 3/8" by 5 1/2"), pagination: [i-vi] 1-185 [1, blank] [19] [1, colophon]. The dust jacket is of plain brown paper, black lettering on the front panel and spine, short summary of the book on the front flap and short author bio on the back flap. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, the boards clean, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; some foxing to the text block edges, else fine.
