Book review: the brotherhood of Freemason sisters: gender, secrecy, and fraternity in Italian Masonic lodges by Lilith Mahmud

The Brotherhood of Freemason Sisters is a compelling and vibrant ethnography which grants an insight into the esoteric world of women Freemasons in Italy. Mahmud deftly unpacks this phenomenon and offers academics a concise and engaging critical analysis of gender, race, class, secrecy and notions of fraternity, writes Katherine Williams.
