Louisa’s story is compelling and thought provoking. Before reading, I only had a vague understanding of the historical context, but the story gave me a deeper sense of the struggles that others endured in their fight for equality. I was also struck by how little I knew about what life was like for women during this period. Louisa’s experiences, along with the people she encountered, were relatable and engaging, making it easy to connect with her story. The short chapters in this book, really worked for me, as they made the story easy to follow and bought everything neatly together.
