My review of @DrSharonThomp's @SLSA_UK award-winning(!) Quiet Revolutionaries is now out with @fr_journal. It's fantastic and should be read by anyone interested in family law, legal history, law reform, and campaigns for gender equality. Timely too, given potential reform of MCA

‘This book reveals that “the MWA’s story is a microcosm of feminist legal activism”. … Quiet Revolutionaries provides a new way of thinking about that activism and how “success”might be measured for reform projects in family law today’.
A great review of an excellent book ⬇️
