This book marked a real feminist awakening for me . . . it might make you rage, but in a good, important way (Laura Bates Elle)

** 'In LIVING DOLLS, Walter makes a compelling case that we need feminism more than ever...this book makes a disturbing, passionate and compelling case for revisiting our notions of equality...Everyone who cares anything about the kind of society we are curre (Sunday Business Post)
** 'Walter does a brilliant job of demolishing their (scientists') arguments (Mail on Sunday, Susie Orbach)
** 'Required reading for everyone who cares about our humanity, and that means all of us (Katherine Sheridan, Irish Times)
