. . . Brown's work is pathbreaking. . . . an intellectual feast . . . it's always lucid, brilliantly argued, with impressive regard for complexity and nuance, and it comes complete with a feminist passion, ready to pounce.

. . . offers important insights about classical social and political theory for feminism . . .
— Contemporary Sociology
Is politics gendered? Wendy Brown thinks so, and argues for this point with elegance, imagination and pungent phrases. Brown's book is challenging, provocative and . . . original; it does force us to question the degree to which gender controls our politics.

. . . provocative and important . . . this book will reward not only the political philosopher, but also anyone interested in how we have become the 'political animals' Aristotle claims we are.
— American Political Science Review
Brown's volume is an important addition to the literature in both feminist theory and political theory.
