Reviews

This book should be useful to public historians looking to engage with the theoretical literature surrounding memorials-an important project at a time when they are the focus of such intense activism and political debate... It seems likely that women's representation in monuments will expand significantly over the next several years. This book can aid the project of understanding how and why such shifts occur. - Ella Wagner, The Public Historian
