I’d like to first thank the wonderful team at Aria who helped to make writing this book another entirely enjoyable experience. Especially my wonderful editor, Caroline Ridding, who always provides such fabulous feedback, insight and patience with her revisions and suggestions.
Also, thank you to the Swindon and Wiltshire History Centre and the Bath Archive Centre for sharing some brilliant inspiration with their footage and stories from the real-life women who fought for the vote in and around the county of Wiltshire.
Finally, as always, much love and gratitude to my husband and two daughters who tolerate, with patience and grace, my changing moods throughout writing every novel. I love you.
