"More than a century after their publication, Renée Vivien's short stories foreground issues that women continue to face: sexual violence, double standards, and social inequality." - Gayle Levy, University of Missouri, Kansas City
"The editor's references to the Me Too movement . . . show how Vivien's stories anticipate issues women are grappling with today." - Tama Lea Engelking, Cleveland State University
