1.0 out of 5 stars Not the most enlightening book - but quite interesting, August 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Adventures in Lesbian Philosophy (A Hypatia Book) (Paperback)

This book seems to have the quality of a washing-up liquid advert. This seems summed up by its complete lack of depth in philosophical implications. It is about as stimulating as having an intellectual conversation with Jerry Springer. Please, Please, Please don't read this book!
