Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent
Comment: I have not yet read this book, but I just finished a class Ms. Grosz taught on Sigmund Freud, and she is a brilliant person. If her books are anything like her teaching skills, this is definitely worth the read!

Rating: 5
Summary: The mind returns to the body!
Comment: Grosz's work is a triumph of corporeal phenomenology. The book discusses the role of the body as it pertains to gender, race and sex. The body is not just an atomic aggregate but rather a lived experience. The first part of the book, "Inside Out," explores the psychoanalytic view of the body whereas the part titled "Outside In" covers society's pressures on the body. Grosz concludes by addressing the differences between the male and female body, and how the body-politic cannot be ignored when disucssing femininsm.

Rating: 4
