Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-02 00:00:00 Alan Lueck Fascinating study of the history and mythology of OBOS and its global family tree of new editions, translations, adaptations, and appropriations. Davis writes both admiringly and critically about her subject. One chapter fits awkwardly in terms of structure but makes a persuasive case for OBOS as an epistemological text and "a traveling theory par excellence", too long undervalued as such by feminist theorists.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-11-19 00:00:00 Joseph Perlmutter The book is a pain to read. The style is atrocious. The actual facts are interesting. Yet the author is in dire need to build a mythology and the actual women are less relevant. This way, running water, electricity, all practical aspects are thrown out to make way for the Holy Spirit of Feminism. Sure, self exploring is an essential part, but life shows it won't happen in a rat infested hovel while birthing the 13th child. So the facts are very relevant. But the omnipresent dogma and the obscurantism turn everything into junk.
