Welcome to Victorian Britain. Meet Josey, a Northumbrian lass, blissfully married to George, a brilliant teacher. When a shocking tragedy shatters their family life, she transforms herself into a tireless champion of women’s rights. The crusade takes her into every corner of Britain and exposes a harrowing underworld in the great capitals of Europe too. What is the crusade’s aim, and what gruesome trials and tribulations must Josephine endure in its pursuit? Discover Josephine’s opponents and allies, why she never gives up, and how her legacy continues more than a century later to shape today’s world. This new dramatisation of her amazing true story is not for the squeamish or faint-hearted.
