We usually think of women as the victims of pornography rather than its consumers. Whether appearing in films, peering provocatively from the pages of magazines, or posing on explicit Web-sites, women are considered the dehumanized objects of unseen lascivious male viewers. But in her controversial new bookOne for the Girls!, Clarissa Smith debunks this myth and challenges women to read, watch, and enjoy pornography on their own terms. Focusing on the British magazineFor Women, Smith looks at its readers' responses to male pinups and erotica and explores the intricacies of women's unique reactions to pornography. "Clarissa Smith has achieved something special with her new proffering from her masculinities repertoire. Smith's text is groundbreaking, multidisciplinary andequally importantlyextremely readable. It is the last point perhaps that really sets this work apart, as One for the Girls has a great deal to offer both the specialist academic and the general reader. Clarissa Smith's accessible style allows readers with little prior knowledge of critical theory, cultural studies or the 1980s pornography debate, to not only understand these discourses, but to develop a strong grasp of their impact in this context."Michelle Parsons,Transition Tradition
