Media Reviews
Gives newcomers to the field access especially to some very tough theoretical material in a way that I think is a real service ... I applaud the measured lucidity of Aston's prose.
-Ellen Donkin
Comprehensive, literate, sensitive to all sorts of quite touchy issues in feminist politics, and will be a good starting point for any student in the field.
-J. S. Bratton, University of London
