Reviews

Davey's is a granular account, attuned to her subject's idiosyncrasies and changes ofmind and heart. As such, the book offers a powerful and nuanced example of some of the themes regarding female political agency explored elsewhere in related works by K. D. Reynolds, Kathryn Gleadle, Sarah Richardson, Clare Midgley, Amanda Foreman, and Elaine Chalus. * Arianne Chernock, Journal of Modern History *
