A badly written book about an interesting subject. At least half of this books is the author speculating pointlessly about the inner lives of her subjects, based mostly on her astrological profiles and shallow understanding of the historical period. Just because you use footnotes doesn't make you a scholar.

However, in the bits where she stuck to her source material and refrained from speculating, the book was fascinating. It might not be as fascinating if you don't care about the Golden Dawn.

Someone needs to write about these women in a less bullshit-full format, but for now this is what you've got.
