'An enjoyable anthem to friendship' Hephzibah Anderson, Observer
'Hugely enjoyable . . . Modern-day readers can thank the ambitious,
complicated, funny, brave women of the Mutual Admiration Society'
Anna Carey, Sunday Business Post 'A tribute to that precious but
still unsung thing: the loving bond between female friends, based
on intellectual exchange and deep affection' Charlotte Higgins,
Guardian Winner of the Agatha Award for best nonfiction 2020
Dorothy L. Sayers is now famous for her Lord Peter Wimsey and
Harriet Vane detective series, but she was equally well known
during her life for an essay asking 'Are Women Human?' Women's
rights were expanding rapidly during Sayers's lifetime; she and her
friends were some of the first women to receive degrees from
Oxford. Yet, as historian Mo Moulton reveals, it was clear from the
many professional and personal obstacles they faced that society
was not ready to concede that women were indeed fully human.
Dubbing themselves the Mutual Admiration Society, Sayers and her
classmates remained lifelong friends and collaborators as they
fought for a truly democratic culture that acknowledged their equal
humanity. A celebration of feminism and female friendship, Mutual
Admiration Society offers crucial insight into Dorothy L. Sayers
and her world.
