I find it unlikely that Taylor has actually read Tanner's book. His article does not cite any pages to her book nor does he cite a bibliography. He takes his few criticisms of Tanner directly from a review by Eleanor Mildred Sidgwick.
Amy Tanner was a very influential early female psychologist (http://www.feministvoices.com/amy-tanner/).
Do you think Greg Taylor is a reliable source?

As for Tanner's book it was positively reviewed in a top psychology journal.
https://www.jstor.org/stable/1413084
The reviewer started the review with:
Jastrow, Joseph. (1911). The American Journal of Psychology 22 (1): 122-124.
Please don't post rational wiki links like it's a credible source. The website does the 'skeptical' side a disservice, and regularly insults famous proponents and parapsychologists. Not very rational really.
