Critics Review
‘Cynthia Enloe is a force to be reckoned with and utterly tireless. Her work has long spanned intersectional analyses of gender, race and class. With typical laser focus, she repeatedly questions which things society pays attention to and which we consider insignificant. She emphasises the importance of feminist collaboration and curiosity, and is closely concerned with encouraging and supporting students and younger women. She is an inspiration.’ - Laura Bates
‘Cynthia Enloe is an adventurer, an intellectual with a light touch and inveterate ‘feminist curiosity’. She shows how thinking about gender, the renewal of patriarchy and women’s resistance is vital to making sense of the world. It is a joy to travel with her.’ - Beatrix Campbell
‘This is a manual for taking us to the finishing line of gender equality. Without understanding the incredible tentacles of patriarchy and its reinventions, we are destined to fight old battles as well as new ones. A jolt of new energy for longstanding feminists and a “must read” for our new generations.’ - Helena Kennedy
‘Cynthia Enloe mixes razor sharp analysis of contemporary patriarchy with profound empathy for women’s multiple forms of resistance. Without doubt, she is the pre-eminent global feminist of our age.’ - Melissa Benn
