Rezensionen

"This highly accessible book sheds a developmentally attuned, psychoanalytic perspective on the phenomena of excess in America and shows how it has permeated our culture and collective unconscious. It's wide-ranging critique; from Eve to Lilith, from Hilary Clinton to Angela Markel, and from the baby boomers to generation Z allows the reader to consider the darker aspects of our culture's relationship to excess from a variety of angles, while calling upon the contributions of 21st century Feminist Theory as a path to address the crisis of democracy in America."

"Ireland and Quatman explore the hidden recesses of our national psyche, shedding light on the unconscious forces currently shaping and fragmenting our country. With passion they urge us to embrace a new feminist perspective, one they call "warrior work", to confront the forces that perpetuate sexism, racism and acquisitiveness. This book is a must read, a rallying cry for a society urgently in need of healing."
