Reviews
'The book is easy to read, thorough and fascinating, taking the reader on a journey through feminist history between 1968-1982 as seen by the news. The langauge is readable and not filled with academic jargon, whilst never compromising on meticulous research, sharp analysis and interesting conclusions.' Bristol Indymedia Blog
