'This is a fine piece of theoretical work that deftly negotiates
some complex debates. It is rigorous, scholarly and has something
significant to say.' Feminist Theory
'Complex and elegantly written ... Anyone frustrated by the
simple assertion that identity is like a trap which necessarily
forecloses the prospect of true female agency will find this book
to be a useful contribution to the ways we think about what it
means to become a female subject in culture.' Canadian Journal
of Sociology Online
"McNay's book would benefit very greatly from the use of examples, to demonstrate the power of the approach she endorses in relation to contemporary feminist dilemmas and contentions." European Journal of Social Theory
