As part of its Oxford Historical Monographs series, the Oxford University Press published her doctoral thesis in 1998 under the title Aristocratic Women and Political Society in Victorian Britain.[5] Reynolds described her work as "an examination of... the aristocratic women of the first two-thirds of Victoria's reign, and the ways in which they exercised power and authority within the constraints of a patriarchal society".[6] In her review of Reynolds' book, the historian Philippa Levine wrote, "Well written, meticulously evidenced, and brave, this is an important study that will be read fruitfully by a wide range of historians".[7]
