Reviews
The book as a whole benefits from its excellent thematic focus, careful author selection, judicious editing and plenty of high level scholarship.
Irish Journal of Psychological Medicineprovides a comprehensive assessment of a number of subjects which have, hitherto, been relatively ignored and is a valuable contribution to the history of Irish medicine.

Timely … remarkably fair … Ó hÓgartaigh shines in her analysis … the endorsements … are justified, including Finola Kennedy’s description of this as a ‘rare book … which combines impeccable scholarship with the storyteller’s gift.’
Irish Economic and Social HistoryThis engaging book draws long-overdue attention to an intriguing Irish public figure … Ó hÓgartaigh makes the wise decision to deal with Lynn’s lifelong friendship with Madeleine ffrench-Mullen in the introduction, acknowledging its importance whilst refusing to be drawn into futile speculation as to its precise nature. This fine biography should restore her to her appropriate place in the history of the new Ireland, and there is much here to interest the historian of medicine, as well as of women.
Irish Historical StudiesWell-written life story … Ó hÓgartaigh’s extensive research, which included a Fulbright to the United States to access archival sources, not only tells the story of Lynn’s life but also supplies critical engagement with twentieth-century Irish historiography … offers important insight into the evolution of Irish medical history and women’s advances within the profession … is an important addition to our understanding of the evolution of Irish medicine through the eyes of a patriot doctor who played a role in one of the most significant events of modern Irish history. It adds important insight into the sectarian relationships of early twentieth-century Ireland and suggests the challenges faced by women in a world that did not value their contributions. This is a biography of a human being in all her complexity, and with it, Margaret Ó hÓgartaigh has restored one of Ireland’s modern heroes.
Irish Literary SupplementThis biography provides important insights not only into the life and medical career of Dr. Kathleen Lynn (1874-1955) but also into the political, social and economic environments in which she worked … rounded portrait … excellent … illuminating … valuable.
