Late 18th century Ireland. Two women from noble families, Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, meet and form an intense romantic friendship. Against the will of their families - and overcoming many obstacles - they leave Ireland and settle at Plas Newydd. Here they become famous, as the Ladies of Llangollen.
Mary Louisa Gordon (1861-1941) lived a pioneering late nineteenth century feminist life.
Part of the first generation of doctors to be trained at the London School of Medicine for Women, she became a prison inspector in 1908, the first ever woman to do so.
Always sympathetic to feminist causes, her work with women prisoners informed her second book Penal Discipline (1922), which advocated for prison reform.
Chase of the Wild Goose (1936) is inspired, in part, by Gordon's experience of studying analytical psychology with Carl and Emma Jung.
