Reviews

Richard Dunphy's pitch is to combine in one account introductions to feminist theory, theories of masculinity, and lesbian and gay studies. He does this very well. Set out with splendid clarity and coherence ... I would recommend this introduction to any student who wants to understand the complexity of our recent history and to join in the arguments at an advanced level.
