anne978's review against another edition
5.0
These essays are truly intersectional, thought-provoking and solid. I could recommend this collection to anyone interested in aspects of feminism which don't get discussed enough and to anyone who is tired of white/neoliberal/surface-level feminism. Especially the last essay, ''Sex, Carceralism, and Capitalism'' I can recommend wholeheartedly. I hope Srinivasan will treat us to more feminist essay collections in the future. (I want them, I need them).

the first couple of chapters were definitely the strongest for me. I had to keep taking breaks because of how angry and despairing some of the data was making me feel.

GOOD BUT FUKIN HEAVY
Incredibly comprehensive book covering a huge range of topics within feminist sexual theory. Very good explanation of a lot of challenges within sexual theory and would recommend to anyone (beginner or advance) to read and learn more about the subject.
However, bloody (at times, literally) bleak and hard to read/digest as it references and explores so many horrific events. It also ends on a mildly helpless note? Realistic and truthful, yes, but also a bit hopeless. Would like to give 4.5 stars as a result.
