"One of the best things about this book is that, in spite of its multitextured account of the artist's life and work, the reader wants to know more about women artists in this period. . . . The author's clear and accessible prose helps the reader digest the multifaceted view that emerges from the book."
* Panorama: Journal of the Association of Historians of American Art * "Manthorne's prose is quite lyrical at times, and her visual analysis of Greatorex's compositions provide a fluid and balanced assessment of her work." * Imprint, Journal of the American Historical Print Society * "Manthorne's study is a fascinating voyage...filled with a wealth of historical and social context. Most importantly, it significantly adds to our knowledge of nineteenth-century women artists and their experiences both in the US and abroad, and encourages us to further explore their roles as travelers and writers, and their efforts to occupy public spaces, whether on the streets, the exhibition gallery, or the studio, which they had been long denied." * Nineteenth Century Art World * "Manthorne "chases [a] shadow" to craft a robust and, at times, moving account of the life of this painter and etcher." * Irish Journal of American Studies *
