'In this powerful and important book, Perez Brower uses a multimethod approach grounded in experiences of intersectional advocates as well as social scientific analysis of hypotheticals to draw conclusions about the real and potential impact of intersectional advocacy. She shows the way that intersectional advocates highlight linkages between issues where traditional or single-issue policy advocacy failed to make connections. By making these linkages, advocates transform or 'reconfigure' the policy function of the state, fundamentally altering power dynamics. The book not only deepens our theoretical understanding of intersectional advocacy, but also offers lessons for those who want to advance change and improve policy responses to gender-based violence. Engagingly written and passionate in its commitments, the book is must-read for all scholars of policymaking, especially those wishing to understand gender-based violence and/or the substantive representation of marginalized groups in the United States.' S. Laurel Weldon, Simon Fraser University
