Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

• Focuses on the key feature of women’s experience in an area often overlooked by crime historians, but that is becoming more popular with the modern attention paid to women's history. • The book is written in an accessible way which will be appealing to undergraduates and postgraduates • The focus on Wales, the Welsh and Welsh language and immigration will contribute to contemporary investigations.
