Media Reviews

On Intellectual Activism is Collins' attempt to frame her more-than-20-year intervention in the critical issues of gender, race and sexuality for an audience not likely to sit in on her--or anyone else's--introduction to gender studies class... Her book is a cogent reminder of the stakes of engagement. Ms. Magazine, Fall 2012
