"The whole book is more thoughtfully planned and more disciplined in execution than the Cambridge volume {'History' by Watanabe}." "Due attention is paid to women's writing without distortion of historical reality." "Overall it is fair to say that Sagarra and Skrine win on points over the Cambridge team {'History' by Watanabe}." Boyd Mullan, The Year's Work in Modern Language Studies
