RaveThe Sydney Morning Herald (AUS)Overall, the essays bring many of the foundational tensions of the women’s liberation movement into the political and cultural climate of the 21st century ... While many of these debates will be familiar to some readers, the analytic precision Srinivasan brings to them serves as a reminder that sexual ethics always need to be contextual and nuanced. The imperative for feminism, as these essays eloquently demonstrate, is not to find a safe space in which clear parameters are drawn (with even clearer exclusions), but to dwell on discomfort and ambivalence that come from being genuinely open to inclusivity. It also means acknowledging the deep tensions that have shaped feminism as a political movement ... This is a book that gets you thinking and gives you enough hope to imagine that things might be otherwise.
