Review
'This book augments Hall's already considerable contribution to the historiography of sexuality and gender. In short, a marvellous teaching resource, a stimulator (I hope) to further research into this neglected area of the history of sexuality, and just a fascinaitng read'.The Galton Institue Newsletter
"The study reveals a muchneglected tradition of British women's writing on sex, and provides, a most engaging examination of this fascinating subject...It is thus high time that the relative significance and content of female contributions was made clear and this anthology is a substantial beginning. My only criticism is that I wnated more!" Galton Institute Newsletter, Issue 61, Dec 2006
'a much needed corrective to the historiography on women and sexuality... the three hundred pages of text, with a century of writing by women on sex, represents the perfect and required primary source textbook for all British women's history courses from now on.' - H-Net Reviews
