After life as an unpaid servant to her clergyman cousin, Annabelle Archer’s ecstatic to win a scholarship to Oxford from the National Society for Women’s Suffrage—even if accepting means participating in the group’s political campaigning. A drive to sway influential gentleman to the cause lands Annabelle and her new suffragist friends at a house party given by the haughty Duke of Montgomery, a man far more interested in winning back the family properties his father lost gambling than in debating married women’s property rights. Until he starts debating with Annabelle…

From Bliss' list on historical romances for feminist readers.
This is a great book because Montgomery is the opposite of a hero until he falls for Annabelle.
He is cold, unapproachable, and unhappy. Annabelle storms into his life on a crusade for women’s rights and turns everything he knows upside down. This book is fiercely feminist, and the relationship of the suffragists is important to the story.
Montgomery is on the opposite side of the women, but he eventually becomes Annabelle’s staunchest supporter. He abandons his own plans to support her, and that is a beautiful thing.
