It is true - she doesn't mention the Diary. Kate's focus is on the treatment of Florence before and during her trial. The Diary, as we all know, surfaced many years later. Kate tries to place Florence's experiences as a women in the context of late Victorian middle class society. Diary or not, it remains a well researched book and a good read.
I read her book a couple of weeks ago. She does mention the Diary, very briefly and dismissively. Yes, a good read, but I found her prose-style became a little tedious.
