'Valerie Sanders's Records of Girlhood, Volume 2 is a worthy companion to its predecessor. Juxtaposing accounts of their childhoods by fourteen women born between the 1780s and the 1860s, Sanders's volume complements its highly readable texts with thought-provoking editorial material, including detailed annotations and lively introductory notes. The result is an accessible and varied tapestry of girlhoods that should be of interest to general readers as well as to scholars'. Claudia Nelson, Texas A&M University, USA ’...Sanders helps to illustrate how the relative formlessness of Victorian girlhood, represented from women’s adult vantage points, shapes both the recollection of and writing about them.’ Notes and Queries ’Valerie Sanders has chosen her memoirists - or rather her memoirs - with a shrewd and practised eye as to what specialists and non-specialists alike will fi nd most useful and enjoyable. ... a charming insight into what it was like to be young, female and privileged (or, at least, not cold and hungry) two hundred years ago.’ The Brown Book
