"Cressida Heyes has produced a book that should be of great value
to Foucault specialists as well as to feminist readers not well
acquainted with Foucault. It is accessible and brief enough for
undergraduate students, but original and compelling enough to hold
the interest and perhaps spark the imaginations of professional
philosophers and social theorists. This book deserves a place in
every library."--Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Heyes offers a rich conversation about the social meaning of the
body and how we conceptualize its connection to identity.... I
highly recommend this book as a piece of fine scholarship that
adroitly offers very helpful applications of complex terminology
and concepts in ways that I consider both poignant and thought
provoking."--Brenda R. Weber, Women's Studies Quarterly
