Reviews

By charting Madison's experiences from the 1910s to the 1940s, Cairns offers critical insight on the deeds and misdeeds of one remarkable woman, who in many regards was a victim herself. By framing events the way she does, Cairns gives Madison's story the context it needs and deserves. San Francisco Chronicle
