Editorial Reviews

«[...] this is a well-researched book which goes beyond the purely educational literature to contextualise the lives of the subjects within the broader experiences of women in the twentieth century as they sought to attain independence and agency within the still powerful constraints on women to achieve them.»
(Jane Read, History of Education 46/2017)
