A Woman of Substance
Set in 1911 Yorkshire, A Woman of Substance charts the extraordinary rise of Emma Harte - born a poor maid - as she claws her way up through resilience, ruthless ambition and sheer will to become one of the world's richest and most powerful women. From selling fabrics to building a retail empire and dominating business circles, Emma shatters the glass ceilings of her time, refusing to accept the social constraints that seek to keep her in her `place'. As decades proceed, war, love, betrayal and societal change test her resolve - but Emma's unshakeable determination, fierce intellect and unflinching drive define her path from servitude to grandeur.
