Trade Review
"In the tradition of the great occupational ethnographies, Danielle J. Lindemann takes us into professional dominatrices' worlds and shows us, with graceful and consistently engaging prose, how the women she studied build careers, negotiate with clients, and develop accounts that make sense of their work and of the relationships it entails. Dominatrix has much to teach us about gender and sexuality." (Paul DiMaggio, Princeton University)"
