Critics Review
-
“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.”

Los Angeles Times
