'The tension over womanhood as something to defend or transcend, prioritise of contextualise, remains central,' as Jolly cautiously puts it. 'The ongoing appeal of radical feminism is that it addresses primal fears of sexual violence, alongside equally primal pleasures in women's community, desire and love'.
Joanna Bornat, The Oral History Review Jolly's approach is engagingly readable as well as theoretically lodged, drawing on voices that question and celebrate and highlighting issues that continue to challenge today.
Charlotte James Robertson, Twentieth Century British History a highly readable and successful portrayal of the people at the heart of the Women's Liberation Movement as complex individuals whose work was life-changing for many people in the UK ... The preservation of the memories in this book, and in the archive, will be an invaluable resource for generations of future historians.
Joanna Bornat, Open University, Emeritus, The Oral History Review Among oral historians of twentieth century women's history and some feminists of a certain age, Margaretta Jolly's Sisterhood and After has been much awaited....Jolly moves from the collective voices of a project to the individual voice of a book author. She confronts issues of choice, diversity, difference, and inequality inside and outside the movement, ambitiously covering the history of a movement that changed the culture, politics, and language of sex and gender as well as discussing the lives of the women who were activists - through all the debates and divisions - with recollections of landmark events, the invasion of the Miss World beauty pageant in 1970, and the founding conference at Ruskin College, Oxford, that same year.
