Read a sample Read a sample

Growing up in an orphanage prepared Amelia Cooke for the high-stakes role of a female lobbyist surrounded by the egos of the 1887 Congress, a time before women had the right to vote. Her success in the isolating male arena comes from using the tactics she's learned from those who oppressed her. So when she's hired by the National Women's Suffrage Association to help pass a proposed constitutional amendment granting women's voting rights, Amelia feels empowered to at last win a place for herself and give all women a voice in the world. What she doesn't foresee is the charismatic and calculating Senator Edward Stillman who threatens to ruin her hard-earned reputation and end her career. Edward Stillman is desperate for status and power among Washington's Old Guard. To gain control of the most dominant committee in the Senate, Stillman must crush the women's amendment and anyone else in his way, including Amelia. He's driven, clever, and willing to exploit any advantage. But in a political game where bribery, threats, extortion, and seduction prevail, each player must decide just how low they are willing to let the fight go. Who will win? And at what cost? Set in the extravagant Gilded Age, Remember the Ladies explores the conflict between the sexes with delightful writing and elegant descriptions, which bring the reader back to a time when the struggle for women's equality had just begun.
