4.0
A fairly quick read book of short stories. From the description, I expected all the stories to be about suffragettes or suffrage, but in fact most of them aren't; they're just about girls standing up and doing things. It's probably the better way to have it.
My favourite story was The Green Hearted Girl, followed by The Otter Path. I wish more of the stories had explanatory notes like Discuss, Decide, Do, which talks about the 43 group in a short note. For instance, The Otter Path has two characters from the Land Army, which I know only the basics of; it would have been nice to have it explained a little.
That's a minor quibble, though, and I enjoyed the book very much apart from that.
