Mistress Suffragette by Diana Forbes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Before the Great depression, the United States had The Panic of 1893. This is the backdrop to the story in this book, that follows a young woman, Penelope Stanton, as she navigates the society in which she lives, trying to balance the search for a husband with her ambitions and support for the Suffragette cause. In the end, which will win out?
While I liked the diary style presentation of the book, I was not able to truly connect with the main character. Penelope was not interesting, and I found the “love interest” Mr. Daggers much more interesting. The historical background was also more interesting than Penelope and made the book readable.
