Living in the early 1900s was trying for women-no rights, no respect, no vote. Dorothy Peto is a suffragette in London working with a women’s rights group. The horrendous treatment of women by the police and the courts coupled with the onslaught of WW1 caused the group to develop a voluntary police group to work alongside the department. Dorothy is inquisitive, insightful and intelligent and becomes involved in helping the Scotland Yard uncover information on two murders. A very interesting historical novel.
The novel piqued my interest in WW1 England and I learned that the suffragette group in the book was an actual group working to gain women the right to vote.
