From my other site – may be of interest…
Great interview. Like the fact that you admit in the first minute that you hadn’t read the book!
Not quite what I said – I had read it: but wanted to have Robin explain the issues…
Great interview. Really interesting concepts…and a refreshing take on that postfeminist pressure to be across everything!
