    About the Book:

    Part III of the Miss Match series.

    In the second half of the 1850s the structure of British society is starting to shift. Formerly disadvantaged groups such as Catholics and Jews are beginning to participate in Parliament, and women are starting to talk about getting the vote and, in particular, economic independence. Unfortunately, the Married Women’s Property Acts are still in the future. Still, various enterprising women are finding ways to run businesses that prosper, even if they have to present themselves as men. Tough, ompetent women like Florence Nightingale will even salvage some lives from the disasters resulting from stupidity of preening military officers. Their exploits will inspire other less famous women.
