I was engrossed by the story and fully engaged with the characters. The book is well researched and brilliantly written. Review: Character-driven historical fiction - An excellent book and a great introduction to the suffrage movement and the reception to and consequences of the outbreak of World War I in Great Britain. Having previously read My Own Story by Emmeline Pankhurst, I was aware of a lot of the events of the suffragette and suffragist movement and whilst this would be a much better introduction to those events for children, I do think that it could have been made a bit more accessible still for younger readers. It seemed to me that in order to provide a detailed and properly authentic depiction of the era, the author has perhaps made the book a little too long, slower paced and with too much period language to really engage younger girls and particularly boys. For YA readers (and indeed adult readers of character-driven historical fiction), it is great. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 251,224 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 13 in Lesbian Fiction for Young Adults 59 in Politics & Government for Young Adults 77 in Modern & Contemporary Historical Fiction for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 376 Reviews | ## Images ![Things a Bright Girl Can Do: The critically acclaimed novel about the fight for women's votes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hDYjyp+mL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Both entertaining and informative *by T***N on 13 May 2021* This novel taught me more about WW1 and the suffrage movement than I had gleaned in the previous 50 odd years of my life. I was engrossed by the story and fully engaged with the characters. The book is well researched and brilliantly written. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Character-driven historical fiction *by A***N on 21 April 2019* An excellent book and a great introduction to the suffrage movement and the reception to and consequences of the outbreak of World War I in Great Britain. Having previously read My Own Story by Emmeline Pankhurst, I was aware of a lot of the events of the suffragette and suffragist movement and whilst this would be a much better introduction to those events for children, I do think that it could have been made a bit more accessible still for younger readers. It seemed to me that in order to provide a detailed and properly authentic depiction of the era, the author has perhaps made the book a little too long, slower paced and with too much period language to really engage younger girls and particularly boys. For YA readers (and indeed adult readers of character-driven historical fiction), it is great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't be put off by the cover - the novel is much better than that *by L***D on 5 May 2018* Another really interesting novel from Sally Nicholls, this time about the suffragette movement in the UK and the First World War. Don't be put off by the cover - the novel is much better than that! Also the rather misleading title - it is taken from a real book of the time called patronisingly "Things a Girl can do" which presumably didn't even dream of all the things that women really can do, like voting, running a business, becoming First Minister of Scotland... As usual Sally Nicholls is excellent at getting under the skin of all her varied characters and making the reader anxious to find out what happens to them. There is a wide mixture of people across the classes, from the very poor to the prosperous middle class, which the writer handles skillfully. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/55947430-things-a-bright-girl-can-do-the-critically-acclaimed-novel](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/55947430-things-a-bright-girl-can-do-the-critically-acclaimed-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-11-08*
