Reviews

It is always a treat to read Julie Wheelwright. She not only uncovers neglected female warriors, but she brings their temperaments, talents, fancies, and foibles to life. While Wheelwright is sensitive to each of these women's unique circumstances, she also shows that they shared hopes and dreams for less gender-constrained worlds. * Joanna Bourke, Professor of History, Birkbeck, University of London *
