The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters
3.0

Olivia's father decides to have her hypnotized to quell her growing sympathies for the Suffragette movement, but the sexy memsmerist Henri Reveri doesn't fix her, but opens her eyes to people's true natures.

Lovely and historically researched, my only problem was with the 'supernatural' portions of this tale. I wish Winters instead had focused on science, reason, and history for what happens to Olivia post-hypnosis. However, this would make a great pick for a classroom setting, and I ADORE that she added a list of recommended non-fiction reading at the end.
