Sell Your Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism Signed Book

George Bernard Shaw was an Irish writer and political activist who received the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature. He was very vocal about his socialist beliefs and his plays often touched on elements of socialism. Shaw was inspired to write the The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism (1928) after his sister-in-law requested he put together some information on socialism. The book’s title was changed to The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism and Fascism in 1937, and was the first book to be published by Pelican Books, a division of Penguin Books.
