Rezensionen
Extremely useful resource for Lesbian, Feminist and Women's Lit Crit. Despite the fact that it weighs 20 lbs and I'm apt to destroy the dust jacket, I reference this book almost every day. Beware, many of the cited works you will not be able to lay your hands on with any ease.
I resisted this book at first because I found the voice so wordy and academic. But I ended up getting to used to the voice, feeling really involved with the characters, and loving the way she thinks about art and life. The whole thing was incredibly intriguing. By the end I couldn't put it down. I'm still surprised by how much I liked it.
