1890, Northern England. Hannah Todd dreams of a future where women have the right to vote.
Fresh from her teaching studies in Durham, she joins her parents in a rural village, brimming with newly found passion and the groundswell towards women's suffrage unfolding in London. Working tirelessly to help women and children in the county, Hannah is determined to make the fight for the vote her life's work, adding her voice to the rising chorus across the nation and hopes of a new world and a new way of thinking.
But soon she must fight a new, unexpected battle - that of the yearning of her own heart. As Hannah grapples with her conflicting feelings she discovers that when power is threatened, darkness, brutality and dangerous, closely guarded secrets are never too far from the surface. How far can she go to fight for what's right?
From the exciting, progressive hive of London to the traditional villages of the rural north, A Woman of Courage rings with the strength and struggles of women at time of momentous change ... and the choices one woman must make to help forge a new future.

Great historical novel, brilliantly narrated.
I loved the strong storyline that included many likeable women who were so passionate about moving the world forward for the better. Emma Woods’ narration brought the characters to life. So many wonderful voices depicting different ages and accents. Emma’s ability to define each character, both men and women, in a different way helped define which character was speaking at any time. Great combination of author and narrator.

Great Characterisations
I have really enjoyed listening to this book because the narrator has brought characters of Hannah and all the others to life. They each had their own personality. I would definitely chose another book narrated by this person.
