![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just to put it out there, I absolutely LOVE historical fiction books like this which present history in a dynamic, accessible and enjoyable format and which write stories about people that history often ignores. We follow Evelyn, an upper-middle-class girl who becomes torn between her desire for suffrage, education and sweetheart Teddy middle-class pacifist Quaker May for whom there is no question of suffrage being the most important thing in the entire world and working-class Nell, struggling to help keep her large family afloat as the war hits them the hardest and with men withholding jobs from women who “dress like boys”. ![]() Things a Bright Girl Can Do is a brilliant and enjoyable book which gives 3 young people’s perspectives on the suffrage movement and World War 1. ![]()
