Reviews

Julia M. Allen has written a wonderful, engaging, queerly emblematic joint biography of Grace Hutchins (1885-1969) and Anna Rochester (1880-1966), life partners who devoted themselves to the Communist Party and a seemingly infinite number of allied causes, especially those that advanced the equality of women ... Allen's monumental study, worthy of these two extraordinary lives, goes a long way toward correcting the historical record. - Women's Review of Books Highly recommended. - CHOICE
