Reviews
“Full of strikingly original and meticulously theorized readings of contemporary public life, W Stands for Women is one of the most intellectually and politically exciting books that I’ve read in years.”—Catherine A. Holland, author of The Body Politic: Foundings, Citizenship, and Difference in the American Political Imagination
“Making lasting feminist sense of the George W. Bush presidency—long after it’s over—will be a crucial intellectual task. W Stands for Women is going to be essential reading as we all tackle this challenge.”—Cynthia Enloe, author of Globalization and Militarism: Feminists Make the Link
“W Stands for Women offers a compelling, well-integrated account of ‘the post-September 11 security state’ in the United States.”
