Trade Review‘This is an important book about a social reformer of the Victorian era in danger of being forgotten. . . . A story of a woman who defied what was expected of her to make a difference – told in a wonderfully engaging way.’ * Helen Pankhurst *
‘Josephine Butler challenged the contempt levelled at women who sold sex, and the unjust laws passed and enforced by men to punish them. Sharp, authoritative and eye-opening.’ * Helen Lewis *
‘A brilliantly readable account of the remarkable Josephine Butler, who turned the Victorian patriarchy on its head and changed the world for women at immense personal cost. If there is a canon of feminist heroines, Butler should be right at the top.' * Daisy Goodwin *
