Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIt's her clarity that can make you gasp, combined with her confidence . . . what shines through this book is the extraordinary suppleness of her mind . . . She articulated, in punchy, matter-of-fact prose, thoughts that for most of us would stay at best half-formed -- Christina Patterson * Sunday Times *
On Women offers tantalizing glimmers and hints [of] what Susan Sontag would make of our current political moment . . . Sontag's stylish, idiosyncratic approach to the feminist debates and preoccupations of her era can be distilled pretty well into tangible guidance for ours * The Atlantic *
On Women demonstrates a powerful mind and equally forceful personality . . . like turning back the clock to the days of Sontag's prime -- Rosemary Goring * The Herald *
Sontag's language is urgent . . . and boldly provocative. Those previously unsure where she stood on the politics of womanhood, or found her opaque on the topic, can be in no doubt after this * iNews *
