Evie Dunmore writes historical romance set around the British women's suffrage movement in the late nineteenth century. The League of Extraordinary Women series begins with Bringing Down the Duke, in which Oxford student and suffragist Annabelle Archer becomes entangled with a politically influential duke while campaigning for women's rights. A Rogue of One's Own, Portrait of a Scotsman and The Gentleman's Gambit give other women in the same circle their own central relationships and political conflicts. The novels combine romance with debates over property, education, marriage law and political organising rather than treating the historical setting as scenery alone. Dunmore's work fits Victorian romance, feminist historical fiction and connected-series romance with a strong social-history element. Read more Less
