Rezensionen

"What does a woman want? "What is revolutionary [...] is that the author makes herself the subject rather than the object of Freud's notoriously chauvinistic question. Aware that her own wants have been distorted and obscured by expectations about 'woman' and the pressure to subordinate a woman's wants to those of others, she strives to develop 'a method for discovering one's true likes and dislikes, for finding and setting up a standard of values that is truly one's own and not a borrowed mass-produced ideal.'" - Maud Ellmann, from the New Introduction
