So often history is learnt in isolation. I love that this book takes the orbits of two influential women working in very separate spheres and charts the impact of their intersections, influences, shared supporters and detractors as well as their respective legacies. I learnt lots. Got cross at the world lots and have told everyone who will listen snippets of interesting facts! Overall a successful read!

I‘m in a dilemma - my new read is a dual biography of Etta Lemon - who founded the Royal Society of Protection of Birds and Emmeline Pankhurst‘s campaign for the vote. So what bookmark do I go with??? The struggle is real! 🤣🤣

Chrissyreadit Why not use both? 12mo

Itchyfeetreader Amazing- we have not managed this. I think our dog it too food motivated. Also fear of missing out is high ! 12mo
Mitch @Itchyfeetreader don‘t give up! Woodford is both those things too - and day it just clicked for him. 🤞🏼 12mo

Why is the woman who founded the RSPB not celebrate more?? I‘m going to learn all I can and put that right! ✔️

Good. I listened to the audiobook version of this. Previously released as Mrs Pankhurst's Feather. It was an interesting read as I learnt about a campaign that I didn't previously know about. At times though I felt the author was taking on too much as she wrote about not just the campaign to save the birds from being fashion accessories but the suffrage movement which is a big movement in itself.
