This book is based in the time of the Panic of 1893. Diana took the time to do her research along with the stories passed down through her family creating a fictionalized diary by Penelope. She is a young girl where her mother is searching for a suitor for her as Penelope's dads company is facing repercussions from the Panic. At the Memorial Day Ball Penelope meets Edgar Daggers, a successful, charming, married man where heat fizzles between the two throughout the story. With different obstacles that Penelope faces she decides to go on her own path and she meets Verdana. This is where I found the story coming alive with the fight for the Women's Movement. Penelope's passion and desires that don't always coincide together. The movement starts with women's clothing and rolls into the fight to "be independent-financially independent-from men" where they focus on "women working and getting paid for it; about being able to hold on to [their] wages and [their] property. And about knowing the applicable laws. [By getting] women to stand on their own financially [...] the rest would follow." Diana does an excellent job tying up all loose ends, ending with a nice bow.
