Editorial Reviews

“Dazzling…What you’ll see through her eyes will startle and amaze you.” —New York Times

“The revolution already has a manifesto in the form of the ebullient Woman: An Intimate Geography…You gotta love a self-described female chauvinist sow who writes like Walt Whitman crossed with Erma Bombeck and depicts the vagina as a Rorschach with legs. Woman is a delicious cocktail of estrogen and amphetamine designed to pump up the ovaries as well as the cerebral cortex.” —Time

“One knows early on one is reading a classic—a text so necessary and abundant and true that all efforts of its kind, for decades before and after it, will be measure by it.” —Los Angeles Times

“Ultimately, this grand tour of the female body provides a new vision of the role of women in the history of our species.” —Washington Post

“A tour de force, a wonderful, entertaining and informative book.” —New York Times Book Review
