Things a Bright Girl Can Do
by Sally Nicholls
Things a Bright Girl Can Do by Sally Nicholls is a work of historical fiction, set at the time of the Suffragette movement in the early 20th century. It’s 400+ pages in length, and seems to be targeted at young adults/teenagers in terms of age group. The book is a really useful way of looking into the past, and understanding how much has changed over the past century in terms of what women can and can’t do with their lives.
“It sits firmly in the Young Adult category, and my gosh, it would be a great book to shove into any book-loving teenager’s hands, boy or girl.”
