When Words Became Weapons: The Secret Society That Changed Everything
London, 1895. A city of fog and secrets, where women of society lived in beautiful prisons disguised as mansions. Behind silk wallpaper and beneath crystal chandeliers, they suffocated under the weight of propriety. Their reading materials were carefully monitored-certain female authors forbidden, certain ideas deemed dangerous. To read the wrong novel could brand you as hysterical, rebellious, or worse-mad enough for the asylum. In this atmosphere of intellectual suppression, an invitation arrived sealed with Queen Anne's lace in green wax. Lady Duxbury-a young widow who had outlived three husbands by age thirty-two-was hosting a tea gathering. But this was no ordinary social call. It was the beginning of a revolution fought not with guns or bombs, but with books and friendship. A revolution that would transform the lives of Eleanor Clarke, Rose Wharton, and Lady Lavinia Cavendish forever.
