In my opinion a really useful book and great for researching details of girls lives, at least those who went to independent schools. I write books, often set in the 1920s, and I have found this book to be one of the most helpful in setting the scene.

This book is an excellent reference piece for anyone interested in the history of girls private schooling. It may be read cover to cover (I personally was able to finish it in about a week in this fashion, despite its thickness.) It is rather niche, and at times lapses into some of the dullness I associate with the thick, cricket-match-scores-laden histories of boys schools, but honestly I would consider necessary reading for anyone interested in this area. The bibliography alone is a brilliant bringing together of many works, and has provided me with reading material for years.
