'Morris's book is a feat of astonishing research, at once an act of historical rehabilitation and of audacious interpretation', Declan Kiberd, Irish Times. 'Catherine Morris' study analyzes Milligan's contribution to the Irish Cultural Revival as journalist, novelist and activist, giving a detailed account of all her feminist and nationalist activities during the 1890s, when male chauvinism in Belfast was a particular setback [. with Morris'] enthusiasm and persistence in managing to locate the writer's archive and relevant correspondence, she has constructed a striking, multilayered account of Milligan's long career, generously illustrated throughout, and including delightful sketches from personal diaries, photographs and Milligan's costume designs for theatre', Irish Arts Review.
