009 - Book 1 Chapter 8

At just twelve years old, Gloriana de Lara envisions a world where women are no longer treated as second-class citizens, where they can vote and pursue any career available to men. With a heartfelt vow made before her mother, Speranza, Gloriana is determined to turn her dream into reality, no matter the cost. Years later, she emerges as Hector D’Strange, igniting a revolution to liberate women from oppression. Written by the bold advocate for gender equality and women’s suffrage, Lady Florence Dixie, in 1890, Gloriana is filled with powerful, self-assured women ready to challenge the status quo.
