Eros and Power:
The Promise of Feminist Theory
University of Pennsylvania Press, 1986. Hardcover and Paperback.

“Eros and Power is a well-written, clearly argued presentation of Radical Feminist theory concerning the nature of social organization and the deployment of economic and political power… Weaving together the discoveries of psychology, psychoanalysis, economic and political theory, Trask argues that patriarchal societies have so constructed both sexuality and gender, and so fused those constructions as to perpetuate male dominance on all levels of human interaction… Trask carefully synthesizes the leading Radical Feminist critics, presenting her arguments in a way that makes diverse and at times difficult material readily available for a general audience… It is a book of great philosophical and historical significance”
