The fourth in the bestselling historical series that places girls centre stage, from award-winning author Jackie French.
Ming Qong is convinced that girls have changed the world throughout history.
History's sister, the mysterious Herstory, believes that the more you know about the past, the better you can understand the future. And so she now sends Ming back in time to work as a maid in an isolated English mansion to see a girl change the world in 1829.
But which girl? The young mistress of the house is lying in bed blind and immobile, recovering from the measles. Abandoned by her aristocratic mother and the rest of her family, she may never walk – or even read and write – again.
Ming becomes friends with another scullery maid, Hepzibah, who is desperately teaching herself to read, and who longs to free slaves, as she and her parents had been. But what hope has a scullery maid?
'French writes in such an enjoyable, humorous style. Ming is a wonderful protagonist, whose journey to discover the girls who changed history is sure to take her to some fascinating places.' (on Ming and Flo Fight for the Future)

Reading Time
It is full of danger, apprehension, excitement, and the opportunity to learn about the roles women and girls played in major historical events and can play in the future. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.' (on Ming and Marie Spy for Freedom)
