“Gender and Queer Perspectives on Brexit is a timely contribution to understanding the process and implications of Brexit … . the editors have created an important collection that tells a different story of the possible implications of Brexit. This volume contributes to the burgeoning literature that looks at the gendered process of Brexit and how this is situated within broader political processes in Europe and beyond.” (Toni Haastrup, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, October 29, 2019)
