Revolutions of the Heart (Electronic book text, New ed.)

In this lively and stimulating analysis of heterosexual love, Wendy Langford looks at many of the issues involved in today's relationships, including: romantic love, the "language of the heart," the trouble with love and "the problem of desire." She argues that the process of falling in love is essentially only a brief holiday from the gender roles which then reassert themselves in the old forms of domination and oppression.
