Rezensionen
In On Our Best Behavior - a raw cri de coeur, penetrating social analysis, and revealing personal reflection - Elise Loehnen deftly deconstructs one of the central ideological buttresses of patriarchal society: the shaming of women for having human desires, strengths, capacities and strivings of body, mind, and soul. Doing so, she provides a guide to liberation and a return to the authentic feminine self. Gabor Maté MD, author of THE MYTH OF NORMAL
