Trade Review
"[A] delightful guide to what the heroines of some of the great novels by women writers, and those writers themselves can teach us about life." -- Beatrice.com "If you're stumped for your next pleasure book and want to submerse yourself in a literary past sprinkled with powerful, independent women like Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott, Blakemore's book provides the perfect portal." -- New York Press "Blakemore finds comfort and inspiration in revisiting the tales of literature's leading ladies and exploring the lives of the women who spun them. [She] makes a charming case for rereading." -- Washington Post
