Review: A Woman of Courage by Tania Blanchard

**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)**

Tania Blanchard, an Australian author known for her captivating historical fiction, delivers a stunning novel in *A Woman of Courage*. Set in 1890s Northern England, this story follows the life of Hannah, a fierce and determined young woman driven by her passion for women’s rights and the suffrage movement. Inspired by true events, the novel brings to life the struggles and triumphs of women fighting for equality during a time when their voices were barely heard.

Hannah's fight for justice and women's rights is at the heart of this story. She refuses to be confined by societal expectations, challenging the roles imposed on women and standing up for what she believes in. Her courage and resilience make her a deeply relatable and inspiring protagonist. While the story slows down in the middle, Blanchard's detailed portrayal of Hannah’s journey and the rich historical setting keeps readers engaged.

The novel’s feminist themes shine through in powerful quotes like:  

*"A woman’s worth isn’t defined by her husband or her children but by the fire that burns within her to make a difference."*  

This reflects Hannah’s unwavering commitment to the cause and her refusal to settle for anything less than true equality. Another moving line is:  

*"If we stay silent, nothing will change. It’s our duty to stand, to fight, and to speak for those who cannot."*  

Hannah’s voice becomes a rallying cry for women's suffrage and justice, underscoring her passion for the movement.

Though the pace may slow midway, *A Woman of Courage* is a gripping and empowering read that beautifully captures the essence of the women’s suffrage movement. Hannah’s journey is a testament to the strength of women who dared to fight for their rights, making this book not only historically significant but deeply inspiring.
