Review:

." . . scrupulously researched, and fluently and lovingly written. It is original and imaginative, and will come to occupy a seminal place in cultural history."
-Angela McRobbie, "New Statesman and Society
"[T]his beautifully written book brilliantly demonstrates that a "woman-centered" perspective on the world does not guarantee that it will be radical."
-Elizabeth Wilson, "The Guardian
"As light remarks in her introduction, feminist criticism has tended to dismiss the inter-war years as a kind of benighted age when women stoo still or even fell back, socially and politically, a dead period between the first and second waves of feminism. "Forever England gives us reasons to reevaluate the lives and the acheivements of women during this era and thereby opens up a fascinating and rewarding new area for feminist researchm in the United States as well as in Great Britain."
-"Women's Review of Books
