Recenzje

In The Etherized Wife, Les Margolin offers brilliant, pro-feminist insights into the role of sex therapy in reinforcing normative sex roles through its entrenched imposition of phallogocentric standards on women's sexuality. Lucidly written, deeply theorized, historically grounded, and analytically adept, this book signals a welcome and radical paradigm shift in counseling therapy, theories of sexuality, and feminist studies - one with the potential for a progressive transformation, not just of therapeutic practice, but of society.
