This thought-provoking work by Anthony Wolff, a pioneering feminist writer and activist, offers a searing critique of the real estate industry and its impact on women’s lives in the 1970s. Published during the height of the women’s liberation movement, “Unreal Estate” explores the systemic barriers and discrimination faced by women in securing housing and property ownership. Wolff’s incisive analysis delves into the patriarchal structures embedded within the real estate sector, shedding light on issues such as gender-based lending practices, marital property laws, and the objectification of women in advertising and marketing. Through a blend of personal narratives and sociological research, this book serves as a poignant testament to the struggles and resilience of women fighting for equality and autonomy in a male-dominated domain. For collectors and readers interested in feminist literature, social justice movements, and the history of gender dynamics in the United States, this well-preserved copy offers a window into a pivotal era and a thought-provoking exploration of the intersections between gender, housing, and power.
