This provocative 1965 first edition of “The Upper Hand: The Truth about American Men” by Elaine Kendall offers a fascinating glimpse into the gender dynamics and social mores of mid-20th century America. Published at the dawn of the second-wave feminist movement, Kendall’s work boldly challenged prevailing notions of male dominance and female subservience. Drawing upon sociological research and personal anecdotes, she dissected the power imbalances inherent in romantic relationships, the workplace, and broader society. While some of Kendall’s perspectives may seem dated today, her fearless critique of the patriarchal status quo was groundbreaking for its time. This copy, with its moderately worn dust jacket, invites collectors and readers to delve into a pivotal work that presaged the seismic cultural shifts of the coming decades.
