Book: Ann Veronica Headstrong, reckless and fiercely independent, Ann Veronica Stanley is determind to be a ‘Person’, to work, love and, above all, live. Walking away from her devoted father and the social conventions and obligations of her time, she embarks upon a course of study and encounters an unknown world of suffragettes, Fabians and free love. But it is only when she meets the charismatic Capes that she truly confronts the meaning of her new – found freedom. Ann Veronica caused a sensation, was damned in the press and preached against from the pulpits when it was first published in 1909 due to Wells ground – breaking treatment of female sexuality.
