Review # 1 was written on 2015-10-21 00:00:00 Michael Ohmart I expected it to place me in a state of enlightenment. It successfully failed to do so. It is more an eclectic collection of essays and chapters on feminism, rather than a solid book of epiphany-giving knowledge.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-09 00:00:00 Charles D. Spar Of all the feminist theory essay collections that I have read, this one has the most diverse authorship. In terms of nationality, in terms of race, in terms of sexual orientation, in terms of gender identity, in terms of class. I was impressed with this collection of authors. Overall, I really think the subject matter itself varied quite a bit too and between all of the essays, it covered a lot of ground. My only serious criticism is a criticism that I have with a lot of academic writing, which is that a lot of these people don't write beautifully. And I know, it's an essay, not a poem Freda. But if we love the pen, and we're choosing the pen as our weapon against the patriarchy, shouldn't we write well? Shouldn't the sentences sound as strong as the stances that we're taking? A lot of the writing was clunky, repetitive, and seemingly unintentionally vague or confusing. That annoyed me.
