Reviews

"Gullickson offers a persuasive account based on an almost exhaustive marshaling of the relevant evidence... a contribution to our fuller understanding of the Commune and its role in reinforcing gender stereotypes."-James A. Leith, Queen's University, Canada, American Historical Review, October 1997 "Gullickson does what few have attempted before: to trace the ways images of women first took shape in contemporary writings and cartoons, including those by women themselves, and then made their way over the years into the writings of politicians and historians. A definitive and fascinating interdisciplinary study of the highest quality."-Lynn Hunt, University of Pennsylvania
