Hope in Oakland: Lose the battle. Win the war. (Signed) - Jenkins, Rebekah Lee

SIGNED BY REBEKAH LEE JENKINS on title page; As new condition; Cora Rood, Canada's first female lawyer and prominent suffragette, gets handed an impossible case, Represent Adeline Pitman in divorce court. Any lawyer who dares stand up to Toronto's most notorious crime boss, Eli Pitman, ends up dead. Faced with no alternative, Cora tries and fails. Threats and intimidation drive her home to where she's presented with yet another heart-wrenching divorce case. Defeated and disillusioned, she refuses to be dragged back to the front lines of the battle for equality. In 1904, the stakes are too high; she cannot watch the courts destroy another woman. As the clock ticks and life hangs in the balance, the community of Oakland, MB comes together to help Cora recover her true purpose in life. If there is a spark of hope in Oakland that will heal Cora, they are determined to fan the flame. The women's rights movement and the desperate need to obliterate a shocking double standard in Canadian court depends on one woman recovering her voice - and raising it.
