While the main text is fairly well written, and consistently interesting, some of the transitions between Mrs. Taylor’s text and excerpts of Mrs. Mowatt-Ritchie’s text are not as smooth as could be desired, yet those transitions were not jarring enough to dissuade an interested reader from continuing. This is one book I had a very hard time putting down. It has made me want to locate copies of Mrs. Mowatt-Ritchie’s works to read for myself.

A very in-depth book, “The Lady Actress” took me back to a moment in time when actresses were frowned upon and called derogatory names. I could almost feel myself morphing into Anna Cora Mowatt, the person for whom the book is written. She was indeed very much a lady, even though society held a stigma regarding the proper place for women. Society has evolved so much since then, but it is interesting to see exactly how prejudice the masculine mind was back then.
