Ann Veronica

Work:: Ann Veronica (S2006563981)

Frustrated by the monotony of suburban life and her father's strict rules, Ann Veronica Stanley is determined to win her independence, and follow her dream of becoming a scientist. The only problem? It's 1909, and she's a woman - in a patriarchal society still in the grip of stuffy Victorian morals. Risking everything to fulfil her ambition, Ann Veronica flees to London, and joins a dizzying world of freedom and ideas, of dapper socialites, eminent biologists and the courageous women of the suffrage movement. But can she live independently in a society that won't even grant her the right to vote? Does freedom always come at a cost?
