“To say that Safronoff has done her homework is an understatement,” writes Kristine Hall of Reader Views in the latest book review of Crossing Swords: Mary Baker Eddy vs. Victoria Claflin Woodhull and the Battle for the Soul of Marriage (This One Thing, 2015) by Cindy Peyser Safronoff. “The book is extremely well researched and documented.”
In her thorough book review, overall Hall appreciated the story, coming to this positive conclusion:
“Crossing Swords has broad-spectrum appeal because Cindy Peyser Safronoff writes intelligently without being overly academic; however, scholars will find much to ponder and appreciate. Anyone interested in the suffragist and women’s rights movements will enjoy the historical element, but the personal lives of Eddy and Woodhull are what make this book most enjoyable, thought provoking, and illuminating.”
