An exciting and thrilling story from bestselling author Georgette Heyer, known as the Queen of Regency romance, legendary for her research, historical accuracy, and her extraordinary plots and characterizations. Such a daring escape... Their infamous adventurer father has taught Prudence Tremaine and her brother Robin to be masters of disguise. Ending up on the wrong side of the Jacobite rebellion, brother and sister flee to London, Prudence pretending to be a dashing young buck, and Robin a lovely young lady. Could cost them both their hearts... Then Prudence meets the elegant Sir Anthony Fanshawe, and Robin becomes the mysterious hero of the charming Letitia Grayson, and in order to have what they truly want, the two masqueraders must find a way to unmask themselves without losing their lives... Praise for Georgette Heyer and The Masqueraders: "A treasure beyond price. The Masqueraders is a wicked delight, worth more than its weight in gold."—Anne Stuart "Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen."—Publishers Weekly "Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to."—Katie Fforde "What with elopements, rescues, duels, and cards, the story goes excitingly; and finally the magnificent but dubious father proves himself a Viscount. It is a picturesque and engaging story."—The Spectator

Using the Agwagune community in southeastern Nigeria as a case study, David Uru Iyam asserts that women are not stereotypically submissive, oppressed, or passive. Though women are often misrepresented in studies that fail to ask about their agency, Iyam highlights the overlooked contributions of women that uphold and change entire social systems.
