`Belinda Fehlberg provides a most original and fascinating study of the problem of sexually transmitted debt ... Fehlberg makes a powerful case for law reform ... Her work is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the sexual politics of allocation of money and debt within the family.'
Susan Edwards, New Law Journal October 1997
`Fehlberg manages to write in an uncomplicated style without in any way being shallow.'
Alice Belcher, Social and Legal Studies, Dec 1998, Vol 17 Issue 4
