Reviews It's good, very good Peter Ashby FRSA, Consultant. I read
the first few chapters of Margaret and Dorothy in Conversation last
night and enjoyed it - on a number of levels: the well-told and
absorbing story of a developing relationship; the lesser-known
biographical details (well, lesser known to me anyway); the content
of the discussions -fundamental opposing political ideas discussed
intelligently and without rancour. D'Arcy Vallance, Author and ELT
Consultant Really enjoyed the book. The subject matter is
fascinating, whetted my appetite to read more ... haven't read
anything on Margaret (the blood might boil ) and limited stuff on
Dorothy. Maureen Minton, Oxford City Guide. ...it's the topics of
conversation which make it an interesting read. Most of the
subjects are still with us and contentious like the social issues
of gender, bringing up children, education and women's equal place
in society, the morality of science. Bjorn Runngren. Swedish
Anglophile. Overview A fascinating set of fiction from fact
conversations between two extraordinary women. Margaret Thatcher is
known to all. Dorothy Hodgkin should be: she is Britain's only
female scientific Nobel Prize winner, a reward for her
groundbreaking work in determining the structure of penicillin and
vitamin B12. It is difficult to imagine women more different in
character and political beliefs, yet their lives were closely
linked: Dorothy was Margaret's tutor when the younger woman studied
chemistry at Oxford University; Margaret, as Prime Minister,
invited her old tutor to lunch at Chequers. The setting for the
conversations is Margaret's fourth year at Oxford while she carried
out research work in Dorothy's crystallography lab. They range
widely over topics from socialism to sexual freedom. No one knows
exactly what they did discuss, but the conversations are soundly
based in the factual world of post war Britain and reflect the
characters of these two very interesting women."
