About this listen
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 curly head sets out to surpass the men of her day as she rails against slavery and pushes for women’s rights. Only two things 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 impertinent woman. When a traitor sets out to assassinate Anna, will Julia 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.
Critic reviews
“Believable and bittersweet. It captures the era without a single false note.” —The Literary Redhead
overall, the story was interesting telling us about the history of a woman who lectured for women's rights in the civil war era. her messy love affairs with various women in her life created drama but also seemed unrealistic. I never really connected with anyone's "love" in the story. I wanted to like the book, but its just okay.
A decent story but lost me
