Recensioner i media
"What happens when a distinguished French feminist philosopher and psychoanalyst takes yoga lessons? Irigaray gets some shocks and some good ideas, too... This is a fresh look at the need for East and West to get together, and Irigaray's notion of a community without gender wars is important." -- Library Journal "[Irigaray's] notion that women breathe differently from men carry provactive implications, and the book offers a fresh approach to women's empowerment." -- Religious Studies Review "It remains a cause for celebration when a philosopher such as Irigaray not only talks about yoga, but makes it part of her practice." -- Ascent Magazine
