Review Quotes: This liberally-illustrated and well-theorised collection of stories, arising from academic-artistic research collaborations between the UK and Mexico, and told in both English and Spanish, captures experiences of gender violence ranging from the 'apparently mundane' to the shocking, in ways that evoke powerful emotional responses. Here is an exciting 'trans-sensory' methodology for others to emulate. What a feat!-- "Jackie Goode, Loughborough University, UK"
