'The aim of the text is to think creatively and transgress the limits of the intellectual and the political. Jane Kenway and Diana Langmead provide an outstanding contribution to this study: 'Fast Capitalism, Fast Feminism and some Fast Food for Thought'. They show the dominant forces shaping university life in Australia and the future of feminism in the academy.' - Australian Popular Culture and Media Studies - Years work in Critical Cultural Theory - Vol 10 No.7 02'Global Feminist Politics is a refreshing collection' - International Feminist Journal of Politics, 4:3 December 2002
