The novel chronicles both their contributions to the fight for suffrage, and the way their lives change when World War One begins. There's Evelyn, an upper-class girl expected to marry at a young age, May, a middle-class girl with an opinionated Mother, and Nell, a working-class girl who does what she can to help her large family scrape by. Things a Bright Girl Can Do tells the story of three teenage girls, all of whom are fighting for women's suffrage, despite coming from very different backgrounds. Summary: Things A Bright Girl Can Do is the perfect introduction for teens looking to learn more about either the history of the feminist movement, or what it was like to live through World War One, with some heart warming romances included to help lighten the mood.
