Book Synopsis
'A hugely informative and quietly furious call to arms.' IRISH TIMES

'A ground-breaking new book.' EVENING STANDARD

'A must read.' DAILY EXPRESS

'She is balanced in her evidence analysis, forensic in her research.' TELEGRAPH

'A vital subject that needs to be discussed -KATY HESSEL, AUTHOR OF THE STORY OF ART WITHOUT MEN
