"This is a book I would recommend to anyone wanting to understand
recent developments in feminist theory. It offers excellent lucid
accounts of theoretical debates, locates these effectively within a
political context and offers a constructively critical, rather then
hostile or celebratory, engagement with a politics of difference."

"This is an extremely useful book for Women's Studies and Gender
courses at whatever level". MLR
