Here’s the set-up:
Growing up in an orphanage prepared Amelia Cooke for the high-stakes role of a female lobbyist surrounded by the egos of the 1887 Congress, a time before women had the right to vote. Her success in the isolating male arena comes from using the tactics she’s learned from those who oppressed her. So when she’s hired by the National Women’s Suffrage Association to help pass a proposed constitutional amendment granting women’s voting rights, Amelia feels empowered to at last win a place for herself and give all women a voice in the world. What she doesn’t foresee is the charismatic and calculating Senator Edward Stillman who threatens to ruin her hard-earned reputation and end her career. Edward Stillman is desperate for status and power among Washington’s Old Guard. To gain control of the most dominant committee in the Senate, Stillman must crush the women’s amendment and anyone else in his way, including Amelia. He’s driven, clever, and
willing to exploit any advantage. But in a political game where bribery, threats, extortion, and seduction prevail, each player must decide just how low they are willing to let the fight go. Who will win? And at what cost? Set in the extravagant Gilded Age, Remember the Ladies explores the conflict between the sexes with delightful writing and elegant descriptions, which bring the reader back to a time when the struggle for women’s equality had just begun.

Editorial Reviews:

“In Remember the Ladies, Gina Mulligan weaves a tale as captivating and unpredictable as the back-room political deals forged by her colorful cast of characters. While their deceptions and ruthless plotting keep the pages turning, the true heart of the story lies in their connective need to be heard, and to matter — sometimes at any cost. A memorable debut novel about loss, identity, and the paths that very often lead us back to where we began.” — Kristina McMorris, New York Times bestselling author of The Pieces We Keep“This compelling novel tells of one young suffragist’s brave tenacity in fighting for voting rights for women. More than that, it is a story of the struggle for power at the center of politics, and ultimately examines the question of what’s really important. It’s an engaging read all the way through―but you will especially love the ending!” ―Ann Tatlock, Award-winning author of Once Beyond a Time

“Gina Mulligan’s…narration brings to life the story of one woman’s determined opposition to turn-of-the-century paternalism. For Amelia Cooke, winning the vote for women was a consuming ― but not her only ― passion.” ―C. Michael Curtis, The Atlantic
