A Woman of Spirit
$55.00
1912, Loughborough. Molly and Queenie are best friends living on the same street, both are in love with Harry Spencer, though he has made his choice in Queenie . . .
Molly, with determined spirit, becomes increasingly involved in the Suffragette cause and grows in confidence. She is blamed for vandalizing a post box and later for distributing white feathers, a symbol of cowardice, to some of the young men she knows, sparking tension and casting her out of her friendships.
With the onset of WW1, the Suffragettes redirect their efforts to war support. Harry and the young men volunteer for the army and, in the trenches, one of them confides them that Molly was innocent of delivering white feathers . . .
Tragedy strikes when Harry and his friends are gravely injured at war. On his return home, Queenie avoids Harry’s injuries, revealing her true nature, while Molly supports Harry, and with the men’s revelation of her innocence, she is deemed the true heroine and woman of spirit.
