'Dr. Lane's close reading of Macardle's reportage, plays, fiction, poetry and what is known of her life produces a rounded examination of the development of her political and social intellect set in the context of the revolution and the lean years that followed, and is a welcome addition to the growing historiography on female activists and feminist politics in the early years of the state.' Irish Literary Supplement, Spring 2021 ||||'Dorothy Macardle was much more than de Valera's mouthpiece: she was a politically persuasive and stoically independent woman'. Leeann Lane in the Irish Independent, November 2019
