This should be required reading for guys as they graduate high school. Ms. Dunmore deserves a standing ovation for how she breaks down the complexities of being female in a patriarchy - the calculations made at virtually all times - and demonstrates, with striking humanity, through engaging cis/het characters, how the patriarchy hurts everyone.

Most women will find nothing new in these pages but should have a delightfully fun time feeling seen. (A great read for those who want more of what Greta Gerwig gave the world in Barbie . . . or just want it dressed up in Victorian England.) Nonetheless, do read the content warnings first, know that it is a HEA, and that each objectionable element is challenged.

Truly worth it to see Lucie, the absolute hell on wheels, rabble-rouser nightmare, be loved exactly for who she is and on her terms

A Rogue of One's Own sees Lady Lucie, a suffragette who has just bought half of the shares of London Print, going head to head with the notorious rogue Tristan. Who owns the other half of the shares of London Print. It's hate at first sight, since there's no way that a nobleman would ever support the suffragette cause, or help repeal the married women's property act. And there's no way he'll let her publish anything radical in their co-owned newspaper, would he? Until, he offers her a deal to become the majority stakeholder in London Print. But will she take it, and what will happen if she does?
