About this ebook

She’s going to be the greatest orator of the Civil War

Eighteen-year-old Anna Dickinson is nothing like the women around her, and she knows it. Gifted with a powerful voice, a razor-sharp wit, and unbounded energy, the diminutive curlyhead sets out to surpass the men of her day as she rails against slavery and pushes for women’s rights. There are only two things that can bring her downfall—the entangling love she has for her devoted companion, Julia, and an assassin’s bullet.

Forced to accompany the fiery young orator on her speaking tour of New England, Julia Pennington fights her growing attraction to the ever more popular celebrity. When a traitor sets out to assassinate Anna, Julia must risk her life to save her.

Loosely based on the life of forgotten orator, feminist, and lesbian, Anna Dickinson, That Dickinson Girl is the story of one woman’s rise to fame and fortune at the expense of love during the political and social turmoil of the American Civil War.

this had what I was looking for from the description and the historical genre. I had a thought it was a great start to the Forgotten Women series. I enjoyed getting to know Anna Dickinson and thought this was a great story. I hope this series continues and am glad I got to read this. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
