Stevenson. 264 1 $a Montpelier, VT : $b Rootstock Publishing, $c 2022. 300 $a 223 pages ; $c 22 cm 520 $a "Willingford Hall stable lad Harry Green is about to make a discovery even more unlikely than a corpse. With the estate near bankruptcy and the rise of automobiles fast replacing horse travel, Harry, a young woman passing as a lad, will soon be out of a job. Facing the knowledge she has no skills in the service positions open to women, Harry resolves to discover who murdered the steward, thus becoming a woman who can determine her own future. But as her investigation proceeds, a second murder demonstrates just how dangerous her knowledge is. Soon, no matter where she rides, she finds that somebody is following her. Part coming-of-age and part cozy mystery, All Men Glad and Wise confronts a time of tremendous social change: the inequities of service jobs, the quandaries of grooms as technology advances, and the patriarchal assumptions that exclude women from both valued work and riding astride. Harry, like horsemanship, and like England, is on the cusp of a world looking forward."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Horse grooms $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenagers $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sex role $v Fiction. $9 203720 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. $9 263322 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social conditions $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y George V, 1910-1936 $v Fiction. $9 217194 651 0 $a Oxfordshire (England) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802168 655 7 $a Cozy mysteries. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802185 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft $9 802162 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230425010519.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B601164300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
