"Reading Ellen Willis feels like a great discussion with a witty,
politically perceptive friend over Sunday-morning bagels and
endless cups of coffee." --Michael Bronski, The Boston Phoenix
Literary Suppleme"[Ellen Willis is] one of a very few writers to
articulate a radical vision that frequently butts heads with those
of other so-called progressives. . . . She has the gift of being
able to untangle contradictions, conflicting thoughts, and
confusing feelings to arrive at a radical political analysis seldom
seen elsewhere." --Marcy Sheiner, San Francisco Bay Guardian
"[Willis] suggests new and potentially more productive ways of
seeing our political and social problems, ways that might take us
beyond our exhausted, circular arguments." --Paula Geyh, Chicago
Tribune
"For thirty years, in a wide arc from The Village Voice and Social
Text to The New Yorker and Mirabella, Ellen Willis has been the
sixties' best exponent and a savvy interpreter of American politics
and culture." --George Scialabba, Dissent
