In the early spring of 1909, Ellen Holt, living with her parents in the heart of Liverpool’s slums, works at Felton’s Rope Factory in order to help her family survive. On her way home, she sees a poster advertising a meeting of suffragettes. Intrigued, she considers going but knows that her mother does not approve of the suffragettes. After considerable thought, Ellen decides to attend the meeting, but without telling her parents about it.
Although apprehensive, she joins the crowd of women entering the theatre and is warmly welcomed. After listing to the speakers, Ellen decides she will give serious thought to joining the suffragettes. As Ellen leaves the theatre, a small group of jeering men and boys confronts the departing women. But Ellen pushes her way through and heads for home.
But someone is following her. Could it be men from that taunting group? What will happen when they confront Ellen?
=========
This short story, an introduction to Ellen Holt, gives the background story that precedes the author’s “From Liverpool with Love.” As with all short stories, there’s not much character development, but readers are likely to find Ellen both sympathetic and courageous; intrigued by this introduction, readers are sure to want to read more; the only disappointment here is that the story is so short.
Compelling and heartwarming, this story foreshadows what is to come; readers who enjoy historical fiction will find much to appreciate here.
