Recensioner i media

‘Each story has been lovingly researched and crafted with care… The book is written in a fresh, accessible, at times witty style… Murray skilfully interweaves stories of the familiar with the lesser-known, and brings new information to light… Not only has Murray succeeded in her aim to celebrate women’s achievements, but this book is an achievement in itself – one that everyone who identifies as a feminist (and anyone who doesn’t) should read.’
