Description
Mollie Carberry is a suffragette. She and her friend Nora have been fighting for women's rights in secret, but now they're taking part in a big protest. They'll need to be brave if they want their voices to be heard. In 1918, the Representation of the People Act became law, giving the vote to men over 21 and some women over 30. But it wasn't until later that Irish women finally got the same rights as men. This book tells the story of Mollie's journey towards equality and her fight for the right to have a say in the world around her. The story is based on real events, but it's also a powerful exploration of one girl's determination and courage.
