FREYA JARMAN-IVENS Lecturer in Music at the University of Liverpool, UK.

"Freya Jarman-Ivens is one of the most insightful scholars writing on vocality, especially as it relates to matters of sexuality and sexual identity. Although she makes skillful use of theory when and where it counts, it is clear that her primary desire is to communicate ideas, and this she does in engaging style. Anyone who has been terrified by Diamanda Galas, or responded with a somatic thrill to the voice of Maria Callas or Karen Carpenter, will find this book difficult to put down." - Derek B. Scott, author of From the Erotic to the Demonic and Sounds of the Metropolis
