Review
'Generous with telling anecdotes, Leneman is more sparing when it comes to analysis though the judgements she offers are astute.' -- Eighteenth-century Scottish Studies Society, (US), spring 2004
'colourful and entertaining - original research at its best, presented in an engaging and accessible manner.' -- Rosalind Marshall, Scottish Archives, Vol 9, 2003
About the Author
Leah Leneman was born in America, but lived and worked in Scotland from 1975. Her books on Scottish social and women's history include Elsie Inglis: founder of battlefield hospitals run entirely by women; and Scottish Suffragettes, both published by NMS.
