pickA bit slower paced compared to most books I read - but I quite enjoyed this book. Any time the book was getting a bit too slow it seemed to pick up. The plot twist wasn't surprising to me but well written and still enjoyable. This book is full of strong women. It touches on many issues; pauper auctions, women's rights and the suffragette movement being the main ones. Three important issues that all should be educated on.
pickA novel about the suffragette movement in the UK told through the eyes of the well-off Evelyn who wants to go to Oxford, pacifist May who holds tight to principles (sometimes at the expense of those she loves) and Nell, a girl who dresses as a boy from hardscrabble Poplar.
We have hunger strikes, violence, WWI, a lesbian relationship and bright girls trying to figure out what they can do in spite of what the world may tell them.
Bittersweet.
pickThis is an amazing book and I‘d probably have to say it‘s one of my favourite! It shows how hard to it could be living in the war and not having the right to vote. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. I hope you enjoy it if you read it!
Started this book last night and so far it is brilliant!
pickAn enjoyable if predictable book of three women spanning from just before World War One until armistice, read more on my blog:

I am completely absorbed in this book! Would definitely recommend #suffrage #currentlyreading
so-soThis review is not for this book, but the board book that was made of this book. (It‘s a new thing)

I think this book is too simplistic. My guess is it is for ages birth through 3. Just a very basic overview. The whole book can be summed up with one sentence. Emmeline pankhurst wanted women to vote. That‘s it. The entire idea of the book. No why, no depth, etc.
Next up! #24b4Monday #queerbooks
Emmeline Pankhurst, an inspiring women's rights activist who changed the world for future generations of women..her story can be learned from this adorable board book/picture book from the series of Little People, Big Dreams. I read this in one sitting at the bookstore. Great read.
