    Park Lane , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 679min
    Bea treads carefully on the thick carpet, quite deliberately like a servant. Her elder sister, Clemmie, tells her that it is "not done" to worry about being heard but Bea enjoys this oh-so-silent rebellion against convention. She teases back, "This is the twentieth century, Clem, things are about to change." London, 1914. Two young women dream of breaking free from tradition and obligation; they know that suffragettes are on the march and that war looms, but at 35 Park Lane, Lady Masters, head of a dying industrial dynasty, insists that life is about service and duty. Below stairs, housemaid Grace Campbell is struggling. Her family in Carlisle believes she is a high earning secretary, but she has barely managed to get work in service - something she keeps even from her adored brother. Asked to send home more money than she earns, Grace is in trouble.As third housemaid she waits on Miss Beatrice, the youngest daughter of the house, who, fatigued with the social season, is increasingly drawn into Mrs Pankhurst's captivating underground world of militant suffragettes. Soon Bea is playing a dangerous game that will throw her in the path of a man her mother wouldn't let through the front door. Then war comes and it is not just their secrets - now on a collision course - that will change their lives for good.Brilliantly capturing a deeply fascinating period of British life in which the normal boundaries of behaviour were overturned and the social hierarchy could no longer be taken for granted, Park Lane is as gripping and intense as Frances Osborne's number one bestselling The Bolter. ungekürzt.

    Crooked Pieces , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 769min
    Compared to living with her impoverished family, working as a maid is a huge improvement for Maggie. Her new life allows her to enter a completely different world, the world of the suffragettes - women in search of justice, equality and the right to vote. Then another new face enters her life. Maggie falls for young Fred Thorpe, but any joy she feels at their relationship is tempered by the knowledge that he is a police officer. Drawn into an increasingly militant battle with the authorities and government, Maggie is torn between her loyalty to the man she loves and her passionate belief in the cause for which she is fighting. ungekürzt.

    A Force to Be Reckoned With: A History of the Women's Institute , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
    Everyone knows three things about the Women’s Institute: that they spent the war making jam; the sensational Calendar Girls were WI; and, more recently, that slow-handclapping of Tony Blair. About 215,000 women in the UK belong to the WI. Their membership crosses class and has recently begun to recruit huge numbers of young women. It was founded in 1915, not by worthy ladies in tweeds but by the feistiest women in the country, including suffragettes, academics and social crusaders who discovered the heady power of sisterhood, changing women’s lives and their world in the process. This fascinating book reveals for the first time how they are - and always were - a force to be reckoned with. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patience Tomlinson.

    Protest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 891min
    Whatever happened to British protest? For a nation that brought the world Chartism, the Suffragettes, the Tolpuddle Martyrs and so many other grassroots social movements, Britain rarely celebrates its long, great tradition of people power. In this timely and evocative collection, 20 authors have assembled to reimagine key moments of British protest, from the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to the anti-Iraq War demo of 2003. Written in close consultation with historians, sociologists and eyewitnesses - who also contribute afterwords - these stories follow fictional characters caught up in real-life struggles, offering a street-level perspective on the noble art of resistance. In the age of fake news and post-truth politics, this book fights fiction with (well researched, historically accurate) fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English.
