"[Hardwick] summarises the familiar story of the Yeats family...but she is mainly concerned with the lives of the two sisters--and then mostly with the difficult, clever and frustrated Lolly [Elizabeth], with whom she sympathises with an ardour and an anger reminiscent of Virginia Woolf's account of what might have happened to a girl as gifted as Shakespeare....She may be one of the first biographers of the Yeats family to pay attention to the sisters...but her defensiveness can be tiresome.Hardwick, Joan is the author of 'Yeats Sisters A Biography of Susan and Elizabeth Yeats', published 1996 under ISBN 9780044409243 and ISBN 0044409249.
