Summing up: recommended.--J. A. Gauthier, University of Portland ""CHOICE"" Hengehold calls her book a gamble. What is the gamble? That Beauvoir's ideas become freer through Deleuze. This does not mean Beauvoir becomes a Deleuzian. She becomes, rather, the creator of concepts for an ontology of becoming. The gamble's payoff? A Beauvoir we've never read before!-- ""Lynne Huffer, Emory University""
