Vegetal Sex demands to be read: not only as a critical history that transforms what we took for granted about the sex of plants into a problem for thought, but also as a rigorous reframing of the category of sex in general and a manifesto for a renewed plant-philosophy. * Daniel Whistler, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK * Critically examining a long botanical tradition that speaks about male and female plants, Stella Sandford's Vegetal Sex is a lucid, rigorous philosophical analysis that asks what it would mean to stop projecting human sexuality onto plants. The irreducible specificity of vegetal sex is shown here to have the power of challenging our general understanding of sexuality, emerging from this analysis as open and ambiguous. * Antonia Szabari, Associate Professor, University of Southern California, USA *
