'Grime's book is a labour of love, ten years in the writing, and well supported and referenced by feminist theory.' Theatre Notebook 'In this fascinating and poignant biography, Grime moves between dominant and hidden histories, to revise and revive the life and work of Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies, revealing not only a radical and unexpected story but also the power that the dominant history had to suppress it - a dominance which Ffrangcon-Davies felt compelled to uphold, both as an actress and as a woman.'
