Bringing Down the Duke
From Goodreads:
- England, 1879. Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first cohort of female students at the renowned University of Oxford. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women's suffrage movement. Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion their cause. Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain's politics at the Queen's command. Her challenge: not to give in to the powerful attraction she can't deny for the man who opposes everything she stands for.
This is a book I purchased because (1) it's a historical romance set in 1879, and (2) it's got a feminist message. It's got 413 pages and I completed it in a few hours, so it's a fairly easy read without a lot of confusing jumbo that some historical fiction novels try to shove in for the sake of realism! The author very conveniently included some discussion questions in the back!
