Collector Information
Condition
Fair to Good. Shows noticeable shelf wear, fraying at the spine edges and corners, fading and discoloration to the red cloth cover, and some surface spotting/staining, but the binding appears intact.
Estimated Value
$50-$150
Rarity
Scarce. While early 20th-century non-fiction print runs existed, surviving copies in original cloth bindings from 1915, especially by Canadian publishers, are increasingly difficult to find in good condition.
Historical Significance
A landmark text in Canadian feminism and the women's suffrage movement, written by one of the famous 'Famous Five' who successfully fought for women to be legally recognized as persons in Canada.
Collector Notes
Key collectibility factors include the integrity of the cloth binding and the preservation of the gilt lettering. Given the age, store in a cool, dry, dark environment away from direct sunlight and humidity. Protect with an archival custom Mylar cover if handled frequently.
