Provocative, unexpected and winning."--Richard Eder, The New York Times "A prodigiously researched tour through movies, TV, art, advertising, fashion, celebrity culture, pop psychology, social science, literature, medicine, and more . . . a readable treatment of what has sometimes become as academic and abstrusely theoretical object of study."--Laura Kipnis, The Village Voice Literary Supplement "An unqualified pleasure: thoughtful, funny, unusually engaging, with moments of almost novelistic poignancy."--Louis Bayard, The Washington Post Book Review, An unqualified pleasure: thoughtful, funny, unusually engaging, with moments of almost novelistic poignancy., Bordo's discussion of the differences between men and women in general is one of the best I have read anywhere . . .
