Kate Alcott’s four historical novels focus on American women navigating extraordinary circumstances in the early twentieth century. The Dressmaker (2012) follows an aspiring seamstress who survives the Titanic and then faces a Senate inquiry into the disaster — Alcott drew on extensive research into survivor accounts and the real figures who testified before Congress.

Her subsequent novels maintain a similar interest in women finding agency within the constraints of their time. The Daring Ladies of Lowell (2014) is set among the factory workers of industrial New England, while A Touch of Stardust (2015) and The Hollywood Daughter (2017) move to Golden Age Hollywood. Each book combines a specific historical moment with the interior life of a woman working out who she wants to be.
