Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2019, National Book Award, Books Are My Bag Readers' Awards and the YA Book PrizeThrough rallies and marches, in polite drawing rooms and freezing prison cells and the poverty-stricken slums of the East End, three courageous young women join the fight for the vote.
From Waterstones Prize-winning and bestselling author Sally Nicholls comes this inspirational feminist story about three courageous young women and their fight for the right to vote.
Evelyn is seventeen, and though she is rich and clever, she may never be allowed to follow her older brother to university. Enraged, she joins the Suffragettes, and vows to pay the ultimate price for women's freedom. May is fifteen and already sworn to the Suffragists' cause when she falls in love with Nell, a girl who's grown up in hardship. The two girls start to dream of a world where all kinds of women have their place. But the fight for freedom will challenge Evelyn, May and Nell more than they ever could believe. As war looms, just how much are they willing to sacrifice?
