“Mrs. Pankhurst’s Amazons”: a thrilling tale of Suffragette super-heroines

Coming in 2014: Mrs. Pankhurst’s Amazons, a three-part graphic novel series to be set in the Foreworld universe.

Taking place in the year 1913, the trilogy will chronicle the adventures of Persephone Wright, who leads a secret society of radical Suffragettes known as the Amazons.  As highly-trained saboteurs, insurgents and bodyguards, skilled in the martial art of Bartitsu, they fight for women’s rights in King Edward’s London. When the stakes dramatically escalate, the Amazons are thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse against an aristocratic, utopian cult …

Featuring a dynamic cast of both historical and fictional characters, Mrs. Pankhurst’s Amazons will be written by Forteza Bartitsu instructor Tony Wolf and published by 47North, the science fiction, horror and fantasy imprint of Amazon Publishing.
