Reviews

Kate Chedgzoy's 'Afterword' which praises the collection and suggests that it be followed by research that treats the child as the subject. ... A fruitful line of inquiry could be a feminist emphasis on finding minority voices, looking at identities across rather than along vectors of gender and sex. (Rosalind Kerr, Renaissance and Reformation, Vol. 42 (1), 2019)
