So inspiring that I based a whole month’s worth of blog posts around it in April! Also invaluable for my MA and PhD research.
A very comprehensive look at female writers, arranged thematically, focusing particularly on the inter-war years of the twentieth century. My biggest criticism was the level of spoilers - I felt that many of the points made in reference to particular books could have been argued without detailed descriptions of the endings. Luckily, as an avid Persephone Books fan, I had read a number of the stories mentioned already, but there were others that I have not, and found myself trying to remember to skip whole paragraphs to avoid ruining them. If you are already well-versed in the Persephone back catalogue, this is an excellent accompaniment; if not, keep this on the back-burner until then.
