A Window on Bond Street — Margaret J. Anderson

In August 1907, when Jenny's father went off to America with the two oldest Jardin children, leaving the rest of the family behind, Jenny realized there was a heap of things you couldn't change just by wishing. The Plan was for the others to join him, when they'd saved enough money for their fares. Two years later when Jenny was faced with having to leave school to work in the tweed mill to further the Plan, she again realized you couldn't change things just by wishing. But then Mrs. Lodge, who had her own plan for Jenny, stepped in. Anthea Lodge was an ardent suffragette who knew that it was going to take more than wishing to get women the vote. She believed in the suffragette motto of Deeds, not Words. By both words and deeds she would change the course of Jenny's life.
