Reviews

In "Lost Goddesses", Trudy Jacobsen argues vigorously that high born and ordinary women played far more important roles in Cambodia's past than other historians have been willing to suggest. Moving confidently across millennia of history, and drawing on an impressive range of sources, she has written an enthralling, path-breaking and persuasive book.- Professor David Chandler, Monash Asia Institute
