'This is a brilliant study of a remarkable woman. For those of us who knew Eileen Power it rings true as a sensitive evocation of a fascinating personality. Since Eileen Power touched the life of her generation at many points, this book also illuminates, in fresh and unexpected ways, the history of the social and intellectual life of the first half of the twentieth century. Dr Berg's writing is imbued with the same style and vitality as that of her subject.' Sir John Habakkuk, All Souls College, Oxford
