Description for How to Do Things with Pornography
Hardback. In Nancy Bauer's view, most feminist philosophers are content to work within theoretical frameworks that are false to human beings' everyday experiences.

Reviews for How to Do Things with Pornography
It is a stunning achievement... a brilliant and immensely productive commentary on contemporary philosophy as well as on contemporary feminist/gender theory more particularly.
