"It's not right that we should have to fight for something so obviously right and just as having the vote but we must. Someone must!"
 
Lady Anastasia Banks has lived her entire life thus far in a world where she may do as she likes, be it running around the countryside with her cousins or sitting quietly in a secluded corner, immersed in a book about the flora and fauna of her home county of Kent.
  
But with her 'coming out' only a year away, Anastasia gradually realises her future will be quite different. And she's not sure if she'll like it.
  
Thrust into the world of Edwardian high society and faced with an impossible choice, Anastasia comes to see that perhaps life isn't so simple and fair as she once thought. In her frustration, she comes across a group of ladies who promise to help her... to help all women.

A Royal Rebellion de RachelWritingBooks
22 Partes Concluida
The secret seemed to be etched across my face, the words "traitor" branded on my forehead. I wondered how everyone would feel if they knew what I'd just done, if they knew the treason and danger I'd just committed myself too. If they knew that the helpless girl in the pink dress was something more than a background character. ... It's 1776, and the Revolutionary War is in full swing. Everyday men fight and die for their country on the battlefield, and people grow poorer and poorer everyday as King George continues to tax the colonies. But while civilians drop like flies, nineteen year old Rose and her family are safe in England and as close as ever to King George and his obnoxious daughter Princess Sophia. Rose has a life that one would dream of; endless money and luxury, marriage offerings from every suitor in town, and the privilege of having the royal family in the palm of her hand. Except there's one flaw to Rose's perfect life: she hates it. While everyone else is jealous of Rose's wealth and luck, all Rose wants is to return to her hometown Virginia and get away from Princess Sophia and her minions. But then Rose meets Fiona. She's leader of the Shadow Group, a group of overlooked woman who sneak information from the British and send it to the colonies. Desperate to escape her living nightmare, Rose joins and her luck starts to change. Soon she's secretly attending meetings and flirting information out of her chosen suitor to help her hometown; until the ultimate betrayal tears the group apart. Will Rose make it out of Britain and live the life she's always wanted or to persevere her family's reputation? Or will she crumble under the King's careful thumb and break free forever? It's time Britain realized that it's not just the colonies ready for a rebellion. COMPLETED

❝ 𝐴 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒, 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒. ❞ Anna read out loud, while I was staring at the flower that Lord Tewksbury gave me. ❁ I always was sort of different. It wasn't my looks, my health or my social status. It was my mind. I am sick of men telling us, women, what to do. I am sick of my mother telling me to find myself a rich husband. I am sick of my Father being a member of the house of lords but I still won't be the person following him, even though I am the oldest. And why is that? Because I am a woman and that is the only reason. But I decided to defend myself. I decided to make a difference. My plan was to make women join protests against the sexism going on. To inspire them to defend themselves and I was going to achieve my goal even if it meant that I would have to leave behind everything. I only made one rule for myself to follow: don't fall in love. But when I met the Viscount Tewksbury of Basilweather, I quickly knew that I had to focus so I wouldn't break that rule. #5 in SherlockHolmes (16th January 2023) #6 in enolaholmes (4th February 2023) #3 in runningaway (4th February 2023) #5 in emmawatson (28th May 2023) #2 in Tewksbury (10th July 2023) #1 in womensrights (6th June 2024-29th July 24) #1 in Sherlockholmes (17th August 2023) #2 in runningaway (26th November 2023) (All the characters except my own belong to the owners of Enola Holmes) About 30.000 words have been used in this book

In a time of social upheaval and change, Winifred Banks: Votes and Valor chronicles the untold story of Winifred Banks, a seemingly ordinary wife and mother in Edwardian London. Known to many as the caring but distracted mother from Mary Poppins, Winifred's life outside her home is anything but ordinary. As the wife of George Banks, Winifred struggles to balance her responsibilities in a traditional household with her growing passion for the women's suffrage movement. Behind the closed doors of 17 Cherry Tree Lane, she grapples with her desire for independence and the pressures of conforming to society's expectations of women. But beyond her domestic duties, Winifred emerges as a fierce advocate for women's rights. Joining forces with other suffragettes, she participates in secret meetings, organizes rallies, and bravely faces the dangers of civil disobedience. Her journey is one of courage and conviction, as she battles not only for the right to vote but also for her own voice in a world that often silences women. As Winifred fights for justice, she must also confront the growing tension within her family, particularly with her husband, whose views on the suffrage movement challenge their marriage. Through her struggles, she learns the true meaning of valor, finding strength in her beliefs and the solidarity of the women around her. Votes and Valor is a powerful tale of a woman's quest for equality, capturing the spirit of an era where the fight for justice took center stage. It's a story of resilience, transformation, and the unwavering pursuit of a better world for future generations.
