A Land Fit for Heroines - By: John Grimbaldeston, 09 Aug 2008
Unlike a previous reviewer I thought there really was a representative cross section of women featuredin the book, & the author came up with some quite obscure biographical details to bring the situations of womenin the twenties & thirties alive. What comes across is the genuine sense of loss that some felt at being denied the chance of having a family, & the often ground-breaking successes they achieved once they decided to channel their energiesin other directions. The last chapter which records these achievements is particularly uplifting, & the author herself conveys a quiet pridein what they did.

Barbara - By: B. Flowerdew, 09 Jul 2008
I was eagerly awaiting this ore-ordered book but found it largely disappointing. There was insufficient writing/analysis about anything other than the upper classes & it would have been much more fascinating to have learnt more about the womenin this countryin general & their ways of accepting their "...survival without men after WW1".
