Trade Review
A smart, angry, insightful book, and a clarion call to freedom. Every woman should read it. -- Gloria Steinem
Powerful... No other work has...so honestly depicted the confusion of accomplished women who feel emotionally and physically tortured by the need to look like movie stars * New York Times *
The most important feminist publication since The Female Eunuch -- Germaine Greer
A brilliant, bracing book...The world has changed - a bit - over the past decade and a half, but not enough: this remains essential reading * Guardian *
Essential reading -- Fay Weldon
