A heroine for our times, Etta Lemon campaigned for 50 years against the worldwide slaughter of birds for extravagantly feathered hats. Her legacy is the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (the RSPB), grown from an all-female pressure group of 1889 with the splendidly simple pledge: Wear No Feathers. Etta’s long battle against ‘murderous millinery’ triumphed with the Plumage Act of 1921 - but her legacy has been eclipsed by the more glamorous campaign for the vote, led by the elegantly plumed Emmeline Pankhurst.

Tessa Boase has crafted a riveting exploration of two important women, each driven by her own single issue. Whether you are interested in birds or women’s movements, this is a fascinating work of creative nonfiction. What’s more, the author does a fantastic job with the narration.
