Pressezitat
'An altogether fresh and innovative take on centuries-old identities and relationships, Female Husbands shows its readers how the most forward-thinking and progressive conceptions of gender and sexuality can find their origins in the past. ... Manion's female husbands are brought to life by energetic prose and an insistence on their continued cultural and political impact.' Hannah Roche, Times Literary Supplement
