Trade Review"Eichhorn has produced an original and incisive addition to the increasingly lively and crowded international debate around archives, feminism and activism... Her book is a particularly welcome intervention into current debates inasmuch as she is prepared to move well beyond those nostalgic, over-simplified and unreflective gestures towards 'recovering' and 'memorializing' feminist cultural heritage in order to engage in a seriously nuanced discussion of what it means to put 'outrage in order' or to see the cultural products of resistance movements transferred into formal spaces of preservation and - more often than not - into academic institutions marked by money, power and privilege... [A]n intelligently written history of a moment in feminist activism and an equally compelling interrogation of the conditions that ultimately shape one's capacity to think in historical terms about feminism as a movement." - Australian Feminist Studies
