This hardcover textbook by Laura Fairchild Brodie, titled "Breaking Out: VMI and the Coming of Women," is a must-read for those interested in the history of women's education. Published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group in 2000, this book tells the story of the integration of women at Virginia Military Institute.

Measuring 9.2 inches in length, 6.1 inches in width, and 1.5 inches in height, this book features 368 pages and is in English. It also includes the author's signature, making it a unique addition to any collection. This item falls under the categories of Books & Magazines and Textbooks, Education & Reference, and Textbooks.

This is a RARE, Very Good, 1st Edition that's been SIGNED, Inscribed and Dated by the author Laura Fairchild Brodie on the main interior title page in pen ink (see photos).  There is a small tear to the back upper left dustjacket which I've carefully documented (see photos).  This is the main factor that downgrades this copy to a very good status.  Otherwise, a solid very good with clean, unmarked, white pages.  Enjoy!!!
