"Eindelijk een boek dat licht werpt op een van de belangrijkste Nederlandse feministen [...]. Veel aspecten van dit rijke, tot nu toe vrijwel onbekende leven komen aan bod in het voorbeeldig uitgegeven <i>Rosa Manus (1881-1942)</i>. [...] Uiteindelijk gaat het boek over iemand die niet in hokjes past, en die in verzet komt als zij tegen wil en dank het etiket Joods opgeplakt krijgt. Zowel de tekst als foto's tonen ook daadwerkelijk aan dat Rosa Manus vele gezichten had. Voor mij laat dit boek zien dat hoe waardevol én ingewikkeld de strijd tegen de etikettering is, vroeger en nu." - Marjan Schwegman, in: <i>de Nederlandse Boekengids</i>, November 2017, pp. 28-29
