Industry Reviews "Souhami...is Violet's unabashed champion. Encouraged by the strides in feminist biography in recent decades and by greater openness about homosexuality, she portrays Violet not as 'evil'...but as a woman who loved another woman and who was punished--by society, and especially by her mother, whom she adored." New York Times Book Review - Kennedy Fraser (08/17/1997)
"Lavishly illustrated, pungent with luxurious detail and hardheaded investigation, this is popular history to relish." Berkowitz
