After the hard work that goes into a peer-reviewed article, very pleased to be in print today! Come for the constructions of women’s sexuality in the 19th century Lords; stay for new diary source on the hidden attic from which women watched the Commons below onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Was so pleased to get the chance to read and review ‘Deserted Wives’, a fascinating exploration of this corner of legal history by @drjenniferaston.bsky.social. Highly recommend!

Jennifer Aston@drjenniferaston.bsky.social · last yr.

The first review of Deserted Wives has been published and it's a lovely one 🥳 The full review is here www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... but I've included a snippet below. Thank you so much @chloechallender.bsky.social 🙏 📖 available here: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/deserted-...

Aston’s research and unconventional ‘collaboration’ has resulted in a work with elements of the detective story juxtaposed with two women’s love for their research, alongside a cast of wives the authors ‘met’ along the way. Perhaps the overriding lesson is not to believe conventional wisdom when it comes to women’s history, but to prise open the real story – and to experiment with writing history in new ways.
