This collection of essays focuses on the history and politics of the Women�s Liberation Movement and Women�s Studies, in Australia and around the world.

Ranging from IVF technology to sisterhood - and the intersectionality of this - to utopian futures and seminal essay "The Tampon", Magarey's book is a key resource for people looking to learn how Women's Liberation emerged in Australia.'

Ilona Wallace Source: The Adelaide Review

... one of the pleasures of reading Dangerous Ideas is to be reminded of the wit and laughter of feminism; that activism is a form of cultural as well as political expression and that subversive creativity and collaboration are central to devising forms of resistance and imagining alternative futures.'

Catherine Kevin Source: Australian Historical Studies, 48
