“LADY FRANKLIN’S REVENGE” by Ken McGooganLADY FRANKLIN'S REVENGE is an amazing biography that details the life of Lady Jane Franklin -- an unconventional woman who lived in very conventional Victorian England! She loved science and exploration, and -- because of her unconventional ways -- she met many influential people (she even had a thing for Peter Mark Roget, the creator of "Roget's Thesaurus"!)
I loved Lady Jane for following her dreams even when doing so wasn't socially acceptable. But I despised her for feeling superior to so many around her. She was a woman who did as she pleased, and often persuaded others to do as she pleased, too!
This well-written, engaging tale makes you feel as if you've travelled back in time. It may be a biography, but it's written like a novel, and as such, it was truly a great read. Recommended!
