The life and times of the beautiful Victorian submissive, Lydia Hartwell, are depicted in a monograph. From her performances at the Theatre of Swish where she played a girl disguised as a boy, to her services as flagellatory entertainment at the Birch Club, she stands out as a young woman who willingly accepts punishment, not only from the proprietress of the highly select establishment, but from the members too. Whilst there is no shortage of popular girls at the Birch Club, it is Lydia's captivating performances that generate the keenest interest. She appears regularly at exclusive soirées, utilising her thespian skills in the enactment of exciting scenarios for the wealthy gentlemen who pay for the privilege of chastising her with all manner of implements including birch, cane and strap.
