Rezensionen

"Unlike Woolf [in her book A Room of One's Own], Milner doesn't just tell you it would be nice to have one (of your own), or that women deserve one (of their own); it shows you, step by step, and in lovingly private detail, how to go about getting one-all by yourself, and without any need for special training or material resources-and what it might feel like to have one, moment by moment. It is an irresistible invitation." - Rachel Bowlby, from the new introduction.
