Why do some women either have to, or choose to, live secret lives? We all have secrets, but what drives these women to hide part of themselves from others?
This book explores the hidden lives of a diverse group of women who operate with a degree of subterfuge, mystery or deliberate deception. From Freemasonry to fetishism, from Wiccan followers to espionage, the reasons for secrecy are as different as the women themselves. Together, they represent a rich tapestry of female experience, sensitively recounted by the author as she delves into each woman's secret.

Reviews
Praise for other books by the same author

"How To Be An Activist is a fantastic book, bringing people from all walks of life into politics to ensure that citizens' campaigns thrive." - Dr Lisa Cameron MP

"We all have an inner activist and, with world leaders largely refusing to properly engage on everything from climate change to mental health, there's never been a more important time to harness her. This book allows you to learn from the experiences of trail-blazing campaigners and make your own positive difference."

-Natasha Devon MBE, activist and author of A Beginner's Guide to Being Mental

"I knew shamefully little about the Amritsar Massacre until I picked up this book - and it answered all my questions. Following a clear structure it gives a concise account of British rule in India, making it easy to read and understand what happened at Amritsar, why it happened and the implications on events that followed. A good introduction to this period in
history." ***** - Diane Stenning, Amazon reviewer
