'I think you have to give Cixous' prose plenty of time; then it detonates in your brain ... Well worth buying.' - Michele Roberts, The Independent

'A comprehensive introduction to Helene Cixous in all her diverse aspects.' - The Fawcett Library Newsletter

'Well worth buying.' - Michele Roberts, The Independent

'Only a small number of books fall into the category of an introductory text which is sufficiently intelligent and lucid to be essential reading for a more informed audience. Rootprints belongs to that even more select group of texts: the essential introduction written by the primary source.' - New Formations

'It is brilliant; it is art...' - Michael Kerrigan, The Scotsman

'Rootprints is a must for those already educated in feminism and is also a challenging introduction to Cixous'' world for the reader who comes to Cixous the first time through this book' - Edina Szalay, HJEAS
