London England circa 1906
Abigale stepped outside after the suffragette meeting. It was now close to 8:00 PM and the streets were chilly and dark on this November night. Abby felt safe, though, as she was with a group of 8 female companions who also attended the lecture. They all had similar progressive views: voting rights for women, the temperance movement, women’s legal rights, allowing women to work outside the home, etc.
This group had attracted some attention in the area with a few of the local men mockingly calling them the “Nubile Nine”. Publicly the women were insulted by that title but secretly they were flattered. They were all attractive young women from 18 to 21 years old. And Abigale was their unofficial leader.
