Frances Power Cobbe and Victorian Feminism Reviews

Hamilton's is a highly readable, focused monograph that illuminats the history and metahistory of feminism, the active presence (rather than lurking marginality) of feminist discourse in the mainstream press, and Cobbe's verve, skill, and power as a writer. - Linda K. Hughes, Texas Christian University
