Gloriana de Lara, outraged that women are shut out of public life, disguises herself as a young man, Hector l’Estrange, and rises through Parliament to become Prime Minister. The novel imagines a political revolution, culminating in 1900, that gives women equal rights, with arrests, plots and crowds in the streets along the way.
