"The best feminist book so far . . . a book that knows the distinction between the self and the other, a book that combines the best of masculinity and femininity."

" The liveliest, most sensible and best book yet on Women's Lib. It has an impressive scholarly thread, but its polemical dash and lusty jokes are constantly entertaining. Required reading."
'Observer'

"An exhilarating, polemical, witty book."
'Guardian'

'Newsweek'

"brilliantly written, quirky and sensible, full of bile and insight"
