Publisher Description

Passionate, headstrong, and fiercely independent, twenty-one-year-old Ann Veronica Stanley is determined to live her life to the fullest. When her autocratic father attempts to curb her academic ambitions and social experiences, she escapes her stodgy, conventional world and sets out alone to make a fresh start in London. There, enrolled as a student of biology, she discovers a flourishing unknown world of intellectuals, suffragettes, socialists and free love. But the true cost of her new freedom becomes clear only when she falls for the brilliant, charismatic—and married—academic, Capes.

A sensation when it was first published in 1909 due to its groundbreaking treatment of female sexuality, Ann Veronica is a fascinating and optimistic look at one woman’s quest for personal liberation in a male-dominated society.

"What began as a thoughtful girl's exploration of her identity as a young woman in Suffrage-era Britain ended with her conceding to a typical domestic life. Ignoring the disappointing outcome, it's still a strong meditation on the pointlessness of keeping within the bounds of mindless convention."

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " This book was rather slow starting out but in light of the suffrage movement it painted a nice picture of the history. It was considered scandalous when it was initially written and while it is no "50 Shades of Grey", it has a fair amount of what would be tantamount in that day to scandal. All in all, a 3.5 on a scale of 1 to 5. "

    " I can absolutely understand why this book is a classic and as a young woman, I feel that this is a must read book. I liked the encouragement of free thinking with a woman in an era when this wasn't encouraged. "
