"Gender and Political Theory: Feminist Reckonings issues a lucid, learned, and insistently political challenge to canonical accounts of state power and the politics of embodiment. Mary Hawkesworth models a form of feminist argument in which all bodies matter."
Lawrie Balfour, University of Virginia
"Identifying Western political traditions as saturated with problematic presumptions about sex, gender and sexuality, the author invites us to step back from familiar ideas and see where feminist, queer, postcolonial and trans interventions can take us in rethinking our political ideas about bodies."
Kathy Ferguson, University of Hawaii
