I have to admit that I hesitated a little before picking this title up. The topic matter, combined with the author’s experience, could either have turned it into a naturally flowing, historically accurate fictional story that would give great insight into the suffragette movement (and in current discourses surrounding gender equality), or into a heavy to read, patronizing sermon of sorts.
While I cannot vouch for the historical accuracy of the events in L. Davis’ Emmy Nation, Undercover Suffragette, I can vouch that it is an engaging, easy-to-read, entertaining, and informative book that can potentially contribute to any readers’ reflections on the topic of gender equality. At the heart of the novel is Emmy, a strong young woman who makes a life choice unheard of at the time for someone in her position (I’m purposefully keeping this information vague). Everything else is almost coincidental; it’s the natural environment within which we follow this character’s development.
Of course it helps that Emmy’s life takes an exciting turn when she is asked to go undercover and find out more about the suffragette movement. We discover through her what the movement looks like, that its primary discourse is, how the women involved in it were treated, and what they went through. There are some parts of the book that are a little weighed down by full speeches and articles spanning a couple of pages; but although a little awkward at times, it does so much to advance the main plot of the book that ultimately, these additions become welcome.
In an era where women are objectified, when female leaders are misrepresented in the media, and a woman’s allegations of rape are barely taken seriously even when there is evidence, going back to some of the initial steps in the movement towards the equality of men and women might allow us to shake away all distractions and remain focused on the ultimate goal.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It has all the elements of a story that I love historical fiction, turn-of-the-century London, an independent woman, romance and suspense.

Emmy Nation as a typist for the London Metropolitan Police is finding it hard to make ends meet. Scotland Yard asks her to infiltrate the London suffragette movement to report on their activities. The police are determined to prevent militant acts connected with the movement and to catch the women who are committing them. Emmy agrees to the request and is soon earning more money. She is an impoverished young woman, but there are hints that she has seen much better days, so right away the reader wonders about her story. Who is she and what's in her past?

This is also an interesting glimpse into the early days of the British suffrage movement. The author succeeds in writing an entertaining fiction inspired by real events. For example, I didn’t know that the suffragettes chained themselves to Winston Churchill's carriage in protest of his not supporting their petition for women's votes. Prominent women in the movement, such as the Pankhursts, were well-to-do, stylish, elegant women who could have remained in the sanctuary of their homes, but chose not to. The movement attracted women of all walks of life, however. They marched on Selfridges Department store, invaded and destroyed orchids in the Royal Botanical Gardens, were willing to starve while in prison, all to secure the vote for women. The published a weekly newspaper called The Suffragette that they sold on the street corner. Quite a statement for women back in the day who were still considered second-class citizens, whose place was in the home!

Emmy is a very likeable character who we want to succeed. She is intelligent, strong, determined, yet vulnerable. There is romance, suspense, and a certain mystery connected with Emmy. I hope the author has further adventures for her.

I highly recommend this well-written, thought-provoking novel.
