Type-Writer Girl

The year is 1895. Juliet Appleton is twenty-three years old, college-educated, and completely alone in London with neither money nor family to shelter her. Caught between the classes above who dismiss her and the masses below she's been taught to look down upon, she has only two modern weapons: a bicycle for mobility and a typewriter for survival. What follows is her determined assault on the Darwinian Battle of Life, as she fights to earn her own bread with dignity in a society that offers women only two options: marriage or destitution. Sharp, witty, and surprisingly modern, this is the story of one woman's refusal to accept the terms society has set for her.
