Reviews

Ciara Cremin's Man-Made Woman is a feminist-Marxist-psychoanalytic analysis of being a crisscross-dresser and becoming-woman, set within the scathing critique of patriarchal-capitalism, and calls for the feminisation of men and socialist revolution. Despite some occasional edginess, it is a wonderful book, erudite, politically astute, brilliantly written, and at times wickedly funny. It's my favourite I've read for quite some time. -- Jeff Hearn, Hanken School of Economics, Finland; University of Huddersfield, UK; author of Men of the World


Cremin explores the relationship between theory and life with intelligence and wit. -- Juliet Jacques, author of Trans: A Memoir (Verso, 2016) Ciara Cremin's Man-Made Woman is a feminist-Marxist-psychoanalytic analysis of being a crisscross-dresser and becoming-woman, set within the scathing critique of patriarchal-capitalism, and calls for the feminisation of men and socialist revolution.
