Review
Reviews in local Press where Dorothy lived (including Kent and Devon) and national Press, including the National Archives' Ancesters journal which said her book makes a fascinating social document of education in the early 20th Century. "On marrying Gilbert Thomas, a writer, she was forced to give up her job, both by the rules of education authorities, which then forbade married women teachers, and the social constraints of middle class attitudes". The Journal of Kent History especially mentions Dorothy's father, a long-serving army man and her childhood days in Hythe which: "by comparison with today were carefree, with her closely watching the lives of local fishermen and their dedication to the sea by serving as crew in the lifeboat. During the War, Dorothy became aware of the privations endured by the civilian population and the sad stories of soldiers going to the front, never to return". Stuart Bremner, College Archives, Southlands College, Roehampton University said: "It is a very interesting biography, with a mixture of family, local and social history, combined with the history of education."
