First published as a collection in 1961 by Michael Joseph. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1121\" data-start=\"596\"\u003eThese are stories about gender, time, identity, social engineering, historical accident, and the way civilisation explains its own cruelties with the smooth voice of a public servant. A strong one for readers of mid-century British science fiction, feminist dystopian writing, quiet speculative horror, and anyone who likes their apocalypse served in sensible shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1526\" data-start=\"1123\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Penguin paperback edition, published in Penguin Books in 1965. Good second-hand condition from photos, with age-toned pages, light cover and edge wear, and a clean, bright front cover for its age. Very nice 3\/6 orange Penguin sci-fi object. The paper looks typically browned, because old Penguins were printed on paper apparently designed to lose a fight with oxygen.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bower studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45682797477971,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/0268\/2707\/files\/thebowerbooker_30.png?v=1780987087","url":"https:\/\/bowerbooks.com\/products\/consider-her-ways-and-others-by-john-wyndham","provider":"bower books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
