In a nutshell: Suffragettes rule! A girl’s eye view of early feminism  |  In Anna Carey’s lively new novel, it’s the portioning out of a roast chicken that sets Mollie thinking about women’s rights (her brother always gets the best bits)! It’s 1921 and the suffragette movement is gathering momentum. When Mollie follows her big sister to one of their meetings, she’s inspired and is soon a passionate supporter of the cause, spreading the word amongst her school friends too. Based on real historical events this shows just what the suffragettes were up against, as well as how exciting it is to be part of a political movement. It’s told through letters Mollie sends to a friend, and this makes it both immediate and vivid, with the impulsive, daring Mollie a very appealing narrator. 

Readers will also enjoy Anna Carey’s contemporary novels about teenager Rebecca, and those inspired to find out more about the suffragettes should look out Suffragette by Carol Drinkwater. Opal Plumstead by Jacqueline Wilson also features the suffragettes, and Frances Hardinge’s award-winner The Lie Tree is very good on the unfair treatment of women in the latter part of the 19th century.  ~ Andrea Reece
