Some women retailers were so well established that they issued their own coins – trade tokens to use as small change during the constant shortage of official coinage. Six trade tokens struck by women dating from 1660-70 have survived.

are any of your characters plus size?

I have issues with the term plus size, but that’s a whole different story … 

Off the top of my head: Danica, Halfpenny and Alfred have larger body types. Eliza is curvy and pear-shaped. I know I can and need to do better with body diversity, though, and with describing body types so they’re clear to the reader. 

Also, if I haven’t specified a body type – or even if I have! – please feel free to imagine the characters your own way.
