Emmy Nation
Emmy Nation: Undercover Suffragette | L. Davis Munro
13 posts | 3 to read
A fascinating glimpse into often-overlooked aspects of women's history, Emmy Nation: Undercover Suffragette follows a young typewriter girl as she struggles to survive on her own in 1913 London. Emmy's wages are far from sufficient to feed and clothe her properly, so when she's offered a better-paying job with Scotland Yard she doesn't hesitate to accept-even though it means spying on the seemingly harmless Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). She soon meets Edith, a wealthy suffragette, who promises to show Emmy the ropes. When a man from her past takes over the Scotland Yard task force and questions her loyalty, Emmy accepts a risky mission from the WSPU to prove her value to both sides, only to wind up endangering herself and Edith and wondering for what or whom she's actually fighting. Honest, yet hopeful, about the hardships facing women in the early twentieth century, this story honors the human struggle for equality and serves as an ongoing reminder of the importance of standing up for your beliefs.

It is supposed to snow tomorrow, but today is warm enough to have the doors open and sit outside in the sun. I LOVE winter, but I‘m still going to take advantage of this today and work on Emmy Nation book two in the fresh spring air.

Postbox bombs were a common practice for suffragettes in London, along with many other tactics of getting themselves in the public eye. Emmy Nation 2 will explore more of these tactics! Stay tuned for more updates on when you can get a copy of the second instalment of Emmy's story! #emmynationbooks #thesuffragettenation #gutsyheroines

Pet peeves with books, I won't lie, I have a few. It annoys me when micro presses and self publishers put no work into their book covers. Or in the case of river do put work into the cover, but do not seek the help of a professional graphic designer to make the cover pop. I'm sorry,but I know this to be true from years in a public library. Boring or little effort covers are NOT going to get checked out. Or bought. #petpeeve #marchintoreading.

rubyslippersreads I hate this too. Ebooks are even worse! 8y
ReadingSusan Yep agreed. My mom is self publishing and I had an argument with her about the horrific font she used. I was like I would never buy a book with that terrible font. 8y
LibrarianRyan @ReadingSusan @rubyslippersreads yep. I pick on it in reviews. Especially if I loved the book. You want it to sell or want it to get checked out get a better cover. 8y
