Editorial Reviews

Review

` ... until now there has been little chance for non-specialists to engage with the full breadth of political, medical, educational, and other work about women. Vivien Jones's anthology fills the gap admirably, bringing together well-chosen extracts from a variety of sources.' - Journal of Gender Studies

`John Ayto's The Glutton's Glossary takes the palm...entertaining and recondite information about food and drink terms.'

'This is both a useful and an enlightening anthology.`
