Book excerpt: "Caren Irr's clever readings of intellectual property cases and fictional texts expose the complexity of copyright, what it means not only legally but also metaphorically. By examining how women writers have grappled with the concept and significance of ownership, Irr reveals their feminist critiques of market logic and their endorsement of what she calls ̀positive piracy.' Pink Pirates's creative, interdisciplinary approach gave me new ways of thinking about motherhood, sexual pleasure, domesticity, and the commons."---Alison Piepmeier, author, Girl Zines: Making Media, Doing Feminism --
