“The interest of the book is immense.... Never was such a defender of women’s rights, never was such an exponent of women’s wrongs! In Samantha’s pithy, pointed, scornful utterances we have in very truth the expression of feelings common to most thoughtful women, well understood among them, but rarely finding voice except in confidential intercourses and for sympathetic ears.... Alongside of the fun are genuine eloquence and profound pathos; we scarcely know which is the more delightful.”—The Literary World, London, Eng.
