While she did not win the presidential race, she was chosen by the Democratic candidate Joe Biden to be his vice president and running mate in the 2020 election! After a frenzied year of study – Newtonian equations of motion, thermodynamics, astronomy – she was accepted to Cambridge. While the men were away fighting in the war, many women like Emmeline took on jobs that men would traditionally do.

Amazing Women’ stands out from the other books that I’ve featured as it feels more accessible and current for a young teen reader. You tell me when and where you want it to come down, and I will tell you where and when and how to launch it.

She won the British Independent Film Award for Best Actress for her breakthrough role in the 2013 British period drama Belle and, more recently, has appeared in films Misbehaviour and Summerland as well as hit series The Morning Show (starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon) and psychological thriller Surface.

This was a big step in equality between men and women - and many would argue that, for a large part of this, we have Emmeline to thank. Mystics were those who tried to identify or pursue communion with God by meditation, visions, intuition and insight. They probably should: she was a chemist who developed a medical treatment for Hansen’s disease (leprosy) when she was just 23 years old. Darby is present at the luxury retreat and, as we watch her try to uncover what happened to the murder victim, we flash back to her origin tale and a love story that unfolds between her and another amateur sleuth as they try to solve a case.
