Recensioner i media

In Rereading Heterosexuality Rachel Carroll steps into provocative and challenging territory. She confronts one of feminisms most thorny dilemmas, namely how to comprehend female heterosexuality which is not simply non-normative but virtually unthinkable to the feminist canon. Written with skill and scholarship in equal measure, there are no easy answers but rather a productive unsettling of expectations.
