POMPERY, Edourd de. - La Femme dan l'Humanite : sa nature son role et sa valeur sociale.

Paris, Hachette 1864. Octavo publisher's printed wrapper (spine top chipped, signs of a label removed fom the spine). Red Japanese ownership seal on the title page. ¶ First edition of the Fourierist's feminist manifesto. He appears to have been a friend of Flora Tristan and George Sand, which must have taken some delicate footwork. Sand urged that Pompery marry Flora's daughter Aline rather than waste his time building a tomb to that madwoman (cette folle de Flora).I wonder if many modern feminists will stomach Pompery, what with him likening a woman to a beautiful rose that needs careful cultivation. But he may have someting more sensible to say.
