“Giving the clever and accomplished novelist all credit for earnestness of purpose, it is scarcely possible to accept wholly the form in which she has urged and illustrated her views; still we must respect and admire the talent with which she pleads the cause she has so much at heart.... The tale is well written, vigorous, and interesting.”—Life.
“The novel is meritorious by reason of its crisp writing and sparkling satire.”—People.
“A plot which we timidly elect to call unusual, while hastening to add that the book itself is thoroughly sensible where it desists from being clever.... We admire Lady Florence Dixie’s ceaseless vivacity of narration, and her wise and earnest pleading for the truer education of girls.”—Manchester Guardian.
“Doubtless ‘Gloriana’ will achieve the end of the author—to place before the country in a striking way the arguments for the equality of women with men in everything. This is done with characteristic ability, earnestness, and courage.”—Dundee Advertiser.
“Lady Florence Dixie’s long-promised book will not disappoint those who expect to find in it the advocacy of Women’s Rights. It is written in a dashing, vivacious style, and bears unmistakable evidence of having been produced under the white heat of enthusiasm. Any book written under such circumstances must be full of charm, more especially when it is the expression of the brave, pure, and true heart. The plot of the story is prettily conceived.”—Women’s Penny Paper.
“We hail with satisfaction every rational attempt to show up the monstrous travesty of law and justice by which woman, simply as woman, is loaded with disabilities.... Our authoress has grasped the important truth that, if once justice be done to woman as a free citizen, many evils which she suffers, and which to many appear almost impossible of remedy, will disappear without the application of the legislative nostrums now so much in vogue.”—Personal Rights Journal.
