Historic fiction or is it?

This is a very interesting story that gives credit to those who came before us fighting for our right to free speech.

The narrator was good but her voicing of mother takes some getting used to (I almost turned it off in the first chapter)

There are some mixing issues where one character sounds like they whispering and the other screaming thank fully this is not though out the narrative

censored

I enjoyed the narration from Linda Kutzer

Тhis book is bаsed on the true stоry of Ida Сraddock, who fought fоr wоmen's rights tо be educated about sexuаlity and tо havе cоntrоl оver thеir own bodiеs. In the Victorian era

Wonderful storytelling and voice!

I have read this book in paperback, but the audiobook adds a whole new dimension to the characters and story -- i love it!

The narrator's musical voice added to the main character makes this story come alive for me in a whole different way than I had read her on paper.

It is so delicious to get real history, told so well and in such a wonderful voice. I'll definitely look for more from this author and this narrator!
