Thrown back in time to the 1850s, Sarah Burns transforms herself into a suffragette. But traveling the speaking circuit can be risky in a time when men believe a woman’s place is in the home. It can be downright dangerous when she shares the stage with anti-slavery activists whose fiery rhetoric triggers violence.

Her uneasy alliance with an arrogant abolitionist may be heading toward romance, but it’s a bumpy road with perilous obstacles, including slave hunters intent on kidnapping anyone they can sell down south. Living with a family operating a station on the Underground Railroad doesn’t make life any easier.

A Suffragette in Time is a fast-paced time travel story set against the backdrop of one of the most acrimonious periods in American history, as the fight over slavery escalates toward the American Civil War. Danger, romance and one woman’s personal battle to make the world a better place.

Excerpt

When they boarded the train the following morning, Sarah had reshaped her hat into a Jenny Lind style with the front brim pulled low to hide the hideous bruise that resembled a rotten apple in the middle of her forehead. As she and Mrs. Reeves took their seats, Mr. Manning appeared, doffing his fashionable bowler.

“Good day, ladies. I wasn’t sure you would continue on the tour after last night’s unfortunate…”

“Unless you’re about to apologize, Mr. Manning, I don’t care to speak with you,” Sarah said.

“Apologize for?”

“For intentionally turning the audience against me! I don’t believe for one minute that man would’ve attacked me if you’d been more respectful.”

“I am dreadfully sorry you were hurt, Miss Burns. But I stand by my comment. Until slavery is abolished and the Colored people of this nation are treated with justice, women’s suffrage must remain a secondary issue. If, as you say, you come from an abolitionist family, you know this to be true.”

“How long are women supposed to wait?”

She knew how long they would wait – another seven decades. Which didn’t used to upset her when the year 1920 was way in the past. But now that it was so far in the future, it was infuriating.

He appeared to struggle for a reply.

“If you refuse to acknowledge my cause,” she said, “then I would ask that you at least refrain from inciting violence against me at tonight’s lecture.”

“I would never incite violence against you.”

He inclined his head, continuing toward the back of the car as Sarah swung her head toward the window to let him know she was done with him.

She had never claimed that women’s rights should supersede the battle to end slavery. But suffrage for women was imperative as well. She would not be muzzled.
