Mrs. Brodie's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies

Mrs. Brodie's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies appears exclusive and respectable, a place for daughters of the gentry to glean the accomplishments that will win them suitable husbands.

But the academy is not what it seems. It's more.

Alongside every lesson in French or dancing or mathematics, the students learn the skills they'll need to survive in a man's world. They forge; they fight; they change their accents to blend into a world apart. And the staff at the academy find a haven from their pasts…and lose their hearts.
