The influence and importance of the Married Women's Association and its visionary leading lights ... ought to be much better known, not only among family lawyers but also among everyone who is interested in the movement for women's equality. Sharon Thompson has enriched our knowledge and understanding by shining a light upon these quiet revolutionaries. * Brenda Hale, Baroness Hale of Richmond, former President of the Supreme Court of the UK [from the foreword] * Quiet Revolutionaries brilliantly illustrates the value of taking a feminist approach to legal history. Meticulously researched and engaging, it shines a light on an overlooked but vitally important campaign for substantive equality within marriage and on the challenges of reforming the law. * Rebecca Probert, Professor of Law, University of Exeter, UK *
