[Daniela · Rating 2 out of 5]

A collection of articles which have nothing in common but the authors being academic pals of the editor and sharing the same convoluted way of expressing the most banal of statements!

[Melisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

A challenging read for laypeople and those new to feminist literary theories. Consideration should be given to reading the texts discussed before reading this book.
