"An evocative contribution to studies of the place of women in the eighteenth-century Republic of Letters." David Higgs, Department of History, University of Toronto "Dalton enters into a dialogue with contemporary critics on a number of subjects of current interest, calling into question several widely accepted notions. In highlighting the role of 'private' correspondence in the 'public' sphere, she demonstrates clearly the artificiality of the theoretical division between the public and private spheres, and offers new insights into the manner in which women's history can be studied and understood." Jo-Ann McEachern, Department of French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, University of British Columbia
