Opis treści / summary:

Josephine is one of the very few female journalists in Victorian England - not a job for a respectable young woman. Her chosen path is fat from easy but she's determined and courageous.

Harriet is content to drift from one opprotunity to another, from man to man, living by her singing, resorting to prostitution when times get tough. It's a turbulent, unpredicable existence - a way of life which ultimately leads to tragedy.

Josephine is horrified and yet fascinated by the story. If circumstances had been different, Harriet's fate could have been her own. The two women are close in age, their families not so very different. What made one life turn out this way?

Betty Burton writes of what it means to be a woman in a man's world - be it one with no control or the one who dares to try to break the mould.
