A League of Extraordinary Women follows a group of Oxford suffragists in late Victorian England as they campaign for women’s property rights and the vote. Each book centers on a different member of the movement who becomes entangled with a powerful man—dukes, businessmen, and lords—whose worlds are upended by these determined women. The series combines romance with the actual history of the British suffrage movement.
Evie Dunmore launched the series in 2019 with Bringing Down the Duke, which became a bestseller and introduced readers to her blend of feminist themes and steamy historical romance. Set against the backdrop of Oxford academia and London society, the books explore how women navigated the constraints of Victorian marriage law while pushing for political change. The series has been praised for its research, witty dialogue, and strong-willed heroines.
