not what i expected.

By Brittany - January 16, 2013

I ordered this book for a college class, the book was rated average and it was cheap so i decided to save myself come money. However when i got this book it was in horrible condition, pages were falling out, a big chink of the first chapter was not attached to the book but wedged into the middle of the book. I wasn't expecting a brand new book but i was expecting at least a decent looking book.

Great Book

By Mary E Smith - January 9, 2013

Great entry level book for women and gender studies classes and perhaps some reading on the side, very interesting collection of papers.
