Eighteen-year-old Constance is not interested in marriage or in
being a "young lady." But for a young woman coming of age in the
early 1800s, that's just about all that's available to her. When
her parents arrange her a marriage with a man more than twice her
age, she's powerless to resist. Stance couldn't possibly find her
newfound husband less appealing, but what can she do? Here's what:
Four months into the marriage, she can slip out of their bed in the
middle of the night, and she can put on his clothes. She can look
in the mirror and like what she sees. She can sneak out of the
house before dawn and visit the baker's scrawny son, who has just
been drafted into the army, and offer to take his place. Vive
l'Empereur! Hot on Stance's tail all the while is her younger
brother Pieter, determined to bring Stance back home to Ghent where
she belongs. (The battlefield is no place for a young lady, after
all.) Ironhead, or, Once A Young Lady is the riotous and powerful
story of a fierce renegade, and the silly men who try to bring her
down.
