What an imaginatively assembled collection of essays. Overflowing with engrossing vignettes and unexpected characters, this is international law but not as we know it. No less than a re-writing and upending of international legal history. And seriously pleasurable! * Gerry Simpson, Professor of International Law, London School of Economics * Immi Tallgren has produced one of the most creative edited volumes in the history of international law and international relations that I have seen. This is a remarkable achievement, a field-defining piece of work. * Patricia Owens, Professor of International Relations, University of Oxford * Anyone curious about the lives and work of our mothers in the law will find these individual essays interesting and illuminating. * Susan McFadden, Solicitor and US lawyer, retired from the London-based US immigration firm Gudeon & McFadden., Law Society Gazette *
