compelling offering

This is a powerful book on oppression, very creatively done, especially in the wealth of illustrations of persons oppressed in one category oppressing persons in another category. Anne Bishop is an excellent writer who neatly juxtaposes the personal and political, thus demonstating one of the themes of her book in her own narrative. I had forgotten about this book for a while, then picked it up again and was astonished at its captivating qualities.
