"Feminists of the 1890s have much to say to feminists of the 1990s. The extraordinary detective work and critical acumen of Margaret Gullette have restored Mona Caird's
The Daughters of Danaus to the canon of 'New Women' literature.
The Daughters of Danaus is an important and welcome edition."

Elaine Showalter "Mona Caird is a treasure in whose rediscovery we can truly rejoice. Caird, her heroine Hadria, and her editor Margaret Gullette, speak eloquently of women's strengths we can emulate."

Mary Anne Ferguson "I am delighted that the Feminist Press is publishing this important and highly readable book by a pivotal fin-de-siecle feminist. Critics have too long neglected the important role played by women authors in establishing the terms of the debate for both literature and feminism during the 1890s. The publication of
The Daughters of Danaus should help to rectify this situation."
