Its originality resides in its deft, consistently provocative interweaving of underground feminist discourses with the familiar, male-infected rhetorics of urban experience."--Mike Davis, author ofCity of QuartzWilson, Elizabeth is the author of 'Sphinx in the City Urban Life, the Control of Disorder, and Women', published 1992 under ISBN 9780520078642 and ISBN 0520078640.
