Trade Review
"Rioux vividly evokes Woolson’s struggles to choose independence and a writer’s life over domesticity, and gives a convincing reappraisal of her work." -- Ten books to read in February - BBC Culture
"... Rioux’s book makes a strong case for reassessing this contemporary and close friend of Henry James (and “contributor to his conception” of his heroine Isabel Archer) whose work presages Edith Wharton..." -- Times Higher Education
"Rioux is strong on the context of Woolson’s writing and this book is an excellent guide to her work." -- The Daily Telegraph
