That Dickinson Girl (Forgotten Women, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Eighteen-year-old Anna Dickinson is nothing like the women around her, and she knows it. Gifted with a powerful voice, a razor-sharp wit, and unbounded energy, the diminutive curly-head sets out to surpass the men of her day as she speaks out for freedom and justice. Only two things can bring her downfall-the entangling love she has for her devoted companion, Julia, and an assassin's bullet.

Forced to accompany the fiery young orator on her speaking tour of New England, Julia Pennington fights her growing attraction to Anna. When a traitor sets out to assassinate Anna, will Julia risk her life to save her?

Loosely based on the life of forgotten orator, feminist, and lesbian, Anna Dickinson, That Dickinson Girl is the story of one woman's rise to fame and fortune at the expense of love during the political and social turmoil of the American Civil War.
