This is one of those novels that you think is pure fiction but is actually inspired by real facts. This is the story of three women who weren’t allowed to study at Oxford and weren’t respected when they did. But they weren’t having any of that nonsense.

What a jewel of a read! I got angry on their behalf. Felt like storming in one of those meetings myself. This is going to be good for bookclubs and plenty of discussions.

A really good insightful read!
