A review by terrimpin
Regiment of Women by Clemence Dane, Alison Hennegan
3.0
While it took a little time for me to get into the flow of it initially, and to suss out the characters, I really liked the twist (even if it was morbid) and the ending. I related to Louise, and her desire to strive for academic greatness to please her instructors even at the detriment of her own health.
I feel that it is important to understand while reading this that Clemence Dane is believed to have been a lesbian who went to great lengths to keep her sexuality private. It changes the way that one analyzes the relationship between Alwynne and Clare.
