From Library Journal
Warhol and Herndl (English, Univ. of Vermont) have cumulated 58 previously published essays on 19th- and 20th-century British and North American texts that were written between the mid-1970s and 1990 by 53 widely known feminist literary critics representing a variety of critical perspectives, including Anglo-American, French, Marxist, structuralist, new historicist, and psychoanalytic, among others. This anthology, the most comprehensive available, is one of the few that crosses the boundaries between these various feminist approaches. In addition, the editors' illuminating summaries of each essay in their introductions to the book's 13 sections, each of which is devoted to a particular issue in feminist criticism, constitute a valuable overview of the field and distinguish the book from other collections. The editors offer a strong case for their selections and for some notable omissions. Highly recommended for collections in literary criticism and women's studies.

Everything you might want to know about the history and practice of feminist criticism in North America. (Feminist Bookstore News)
Admirably comprehensive, intelligently organized and introduced, with a wide array of challenging yet accessible essays.... For the theoretically inclined, this would be an ideal book to take to a desert island.
