"...Recommend quite strongly this well-edited and thought-provoking text. It provides a valuable contribution to legal scholarhsip." --Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice "If one wants to engage with the differences of women's lives in experiences, Dowd and Jacob's Anti-Essentialist Reader will be an enlightening beginning. With its emphasis on collaboration, it includes necessary but uncomfortable conversations, recognizing the challenges of cultural ethnocentrism and relativism which American feminists face. There are few expectations upon which it does not deliver." --Feminist Legal Studies
