Heartbroken by unrequited love, courage will guide her path . . . When Molly and her best friend both fall in love with Harry Spencer, their former closeness is strained, but Molly quickly turns her mind to the Suffragette movement, finding solace and passion in helping their cause. With the outbreak of the Great War, the local community hear rumours that Molly has been delivering white feathers, a symbol of cowardice, and she is cast out by everyone she holds dear. In times of despair, can Molly hold on to hope and prove the truth that's in her heart? From the much-loved, bestselling author Margaret Dickinson, A Woman of Spirit is a touching, romantic historical drama set around the First World War.
