What If Challenge for 28 September: The Inimitable Madam Waverly

What if Mister Waverly was actually Madam Waverly? How would that change things? Would anything be different?

Well thought out and written! I wonder though if a woman would be respected in a man's world, back in the 1960's? Something to think about.

In the real world I am sure she wouldn't be...but then i see this alternative universe madam Waverly as a sort of suffragette of the 60s, one who is forging a new path for herself...using whatever sneaky but honest means she can to get her project (uncle) going, I mentioned in the story about her work during the war, and I see her making herself known to all the allies for her undercover work and later making use of every useful connection to accomplish her purpose. My head of year at school Miss Tostevin was my vague model for madam Waverly, a woman no one would want to cross...a heart of gold but buried deep.

Thank you,, and thank you for commenting,

I can always count on seeing a story from you for the What If? challenge. This one does not disappoint, and really it does make us think of what might be different if a woman were in charge. This makes for a very interesting AU in the MFU-niverse.

Thank you Glenna. I think the What-If challenge is an inspirational idea, and I think there are only one or two that have had me stumped so far. This one had me tapping away almost straight away. The story was sitting on my pc almost from day one waiting to be posted. I'm glad you liked my take on what Madam Waverly might be like...I had to work on not making her too outlandish though...
