'In a compelling manner, Natalya Lusty delineates the tropes, ambiguities, and blind spots that haunt Surrealism by pitting the claims of canonical artists such as Breton against the praxis of their female counterparts, notably Leonora Carrington and Claude Cahun. Intelligently positioned in relation to the critical feminist debate surrounding the Surrealist Movement, Lusty's thoughtful and original book shows us what we can learn today from and through the utopian imaginary of revolutionary paradigms such as surrealism and feminism.' Elisabeth Bronfen, University of Zurich, Switzerland.
