Part of a series of small volumes from Oxford University Press designed as teasers - concise and wide ranging over the subject area, this raises more questions than it provides answers for.
I felt it wavered into the areas of gender studies and sexual politics without first thoroughly examining the core of what we define as sexuality in the first place.
Long list of reference material provided if one is inclined to follow the leads provided.

A must read for Denim Queens and non Denim Queens alike.
