Original Reviews of Adam's Rib:
‘That classic of feminist literature…’ Aphra
‘It exhibits the perceptiveness of the poet and the lucidity of the scientist…It should open the eyes of feminists and masculinists alike.’ Robert K. Merton
‘Although her sexual theories and her semantic analyses are the pieces de resistance of Adam’s Rib, the rest of the book contains a great deal of eloquence on women’s oppression in the political, economic and societal spheres…with the reissue more of us can enjoy this delightful classic.’ Lucinda Cisler, Women: A Journal of Liberation
