"No historian in the past twenty years has made a more significantcontribution to the history of family and gender than LeonoreDavidoff. The two well-known essays on domestic service inVictorian England, reprinted here, show this approach at its mostsophisticated and regarding, but there is much else in this richvolume, notably Davidoff's more recent reflections on feministhistory." History Today "[A] fine collection ... [which] retain[s] a freshness andoriginality. This collection brings together some of the mostinfluential essays in feminist history. There is little scope inthis review to do justice to the depth and richness of thisexcellent collection. Her mastery of her subject and material, thedetailed evidence she brings to bear, the sheer breadth of herunderstanding and scholarship, deserves to make this collection aclassic as each essay, in its turn, has already become."
