Reviews for the 1984 edition:
‘An exciting and important contribution to the International Feminist Debate’ Judy Kimble, South
‘The articles are all closely argued, well researched and make the point very clearly that one dimensional explanations of women’s subordination are inadequate. With its extensive bibliography it will become a valuable resource for people working in this area and for women’s studies courses.’ Ros Morpeth, Spare Rib
‘Should appear high on lists of recommended reading for many years to come.’ Chris Middleton, Marxism Today
