Review
'The verve of Rachel Bowlby's writing and the agility of her imagination make this not only a brilliant and shrewd, but an intoxicatingly hopeful book.' - New Statesman and Society
'With extraordinary lightness of touch and playful wit, Rachel Bowlby opens up serious issues. One is left smiling and only gradually does one realize the lightness has touched the profound.' - Juliet Mitchell
'Rachel Bowlby's subtle, intelligent and provocative book is among the most persuasive literary arguments I have read for the inextricable relations between feminism and psychoanalysis.' - Mary Jacobus, Cornell University
Product Description
One of feminism's most dynamic critics brings together psychoanalysis, critical theory and cultural studies to look at how texts construct possibilities and limits for thinking what a woman is, and where women might be going.
