"Peter Wolf's VOLCANO is earth-shattering stuff. Here is Stevenson, as a Victorian mother of eight children, never having travelled further than the end of her Yorkshire garden...here she is, I say, toiling alone up the side of a New Zealand volcano. And why? Because she's sick to death of 'dinosaur chains that throttle and fetter a woman.' Outwardly dead, like the volcano, she is boiling with fire inside. ''I am an eruption.' she cries. Women's liberation never had such a rallying call." - THE TIMES
