London, 1912. For many years, women in Britain have campaigned unsuccessfully for the right to vote. Now, Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the suffragette movement, has called for militant action.
Maud has worked in a laundry since she was seven. When she meets a group of suffragettes, her view of her own life slowly begins to change. Before long, Maud is in danger of losing everything to fight for what is right. [Taken from book cover, Scholastic Books]

Some comments from readers: I enjoyed it - it made me want to do some more research on the real people in the story. I learned more about Emmeline Pankhurst and Emily Davison. I have a new appreciation for the lives we live as women today. I liked that the writing was not too simplified - it was close to the original. |
