I liked this even though it wasn't quite the slam dunk I expected it to be. Somewhere around the Jane Harrison/Eileen Power chapters the themes began to feel a bit repetitive, and since I was already pretty familiar with Virginia Woolf (this being the third book dealing with her life that I've read this summer) I didn't learn much there either. But still, Wade does a great job evoking the gestalt of the time and made me fervently wish to be then for a week or so, just to hang out with all of these women.
