Lead Like a Lady

Lydia Schmidt believes it's unfair that boys get to have all the fun, take risks, and accomplish great feats while girls have to be prim and proper. It's for that reason she is an emphatic believer in the woman's right to vote. Unexpected doors open to Lydia to actually walk out her beliefs and serve in the suffragette movement.

Though it brings her great pride, her stance isn't always appreciated among her school friends.

Additionally, once war breaks out in Europe, her German heritage is disparaged. In the light of Germany's war atrocities being revealed in the news, those in America with German names were treated unfairly.

On yet another front, her father is discriminated against in his workplace for his strong stand for unions, as he is voted in as an officer for his chapter.

It is a time of great challenges and difficulties. Will Lydia continue to struggle with her identity? Or will she discover the secret of how to lead like a lady?
