Suffragette, reformer, legislator, and author Nellie McClung was Canada's most famous pioneer for woman's rights. But how did a girl growing up in the late 1800s become such an advocate for equality?
In this second book in the series, Nellie - now a young schoolteacher - struggles to overcome her mother's criticism and the prejudices of those around her. Her thoughts and ideas on women's rights and the role of the family begin to take shape as she attempts to help Sarah, a young student in distress, and begins to develop romantic feeling for Wes, a lifelong family friend.

This sequel to Crook's lively Nellie L. focuses on Nellie Mooney McClung's early career as a schoolteacher and women's rights activist. Although this novel can be read on its own, readers familiar with the first book may have a greater appreciation for Nellie's growing romance with long-time friend, Wes McClung. Readers who have enjoyed classics by Laura Ingalls Wilder or Lucy Maud Montgomery are sure to enjoy this new series about Nellie Mooney McClung. Like the first novel, this one includes Crook's explanation of changes she made in fictionalizing McClung's story and notes regarding the original source(s).
