Publisher's Synopsis
A woman's place is in the home . . . That's what she's always been told. But Harriet has other ideas . . . In 1860s England, it's a man's world and women aren't expected . . . or allowed . . . to upset the status quo. Living with her domineering uncle, Harriet is desperate to break free. Could the charming young man who has come to stay with them be her way out? Or will he be just like the rest? Happy to keep her in her place . . . Not prepared to sit around while her dreams die, Harriet risks everything to stand her ground. But she underestimates how far some will go to silence her. Inspired by a true story, Less Than Equals continues the epic saga of one family's trials, tragedies, and triumphs as they seek their fortune in Victorian-era England.
