Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-29 00:00:00 Richard Phillips Intresting book, but was inclined to become dull and in some cases repetitive.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-25 00:00:00 Tammy Liechty A now classic collection of feminist papers exploring desire in a range of social, historical and athropological contexts. Many are published elsewhere, but it contains Adrienne Rich's essential 'Compusory Heterosexuality and the Lesbian Experience', Kathy Peiss's excellent analysis of working class women's leisure in New York and others. After a quarter of a century it remains a key collection, even if some of its sections have dated.
