Reviews

`An impressive statement from British feminist-mainly discursive social-psychology....The introduction....is a wide-ranging and nuanced discussion of the importance and limitations of the `axis between feminism and poststructuralism′. It maps the issues in a theoretical sophisticated way which should put paid to any lingering notions that psychologists can′t work with critical theory′ -Feminist Theory
