My Notorious Life : A Novel Paperback

About This Item

Introducing the captivating and thought-provoking novel, "My Notorious Life." Inspired by the true story of a remarkable midwife who became a controversial figure in Victorian New York City, this book is a captivating blend of love story, family saga, and the confessions of a passionate and resilient woman who defied societal norms. Follow the extraordinary journey of Axie Muldoon, a young girl growing up on the streets of 1860s New York City. Born into poverty as the daughter of Irish immigrants, Axie's life takes an unexpected turn as she is forcibly separated from her family and apprentices with a doctor. Together with her husband, they turn a small business selling "Lunar Tablets for Female Complaint" into a thriving midwifery practice. Axie's determination and rebellion against societal conventions lead her from the grim tenement rooms to a luxurious mansion on Fifth Avenue.

However, her success comes with its own set of challenges and moral dilemmas. As her services garner attention and outrage, Axie finds herself on a collision course with Anthony Comstock, a crusading official who founded the Society for the Suppression of Vice. To preserve her freedom and everything she holds dear, Axie must outwit Comstock, a man who believes he holds the power to control and suppress her. This gripping tale delves into themes of women's rights, trust, and the pursuit of freedom against all odds. Written by Kate Manning, "My Notorious Life" draws inspiration from the true history of a notorious physician once labeled "the Wickedest Woman in New York." Manning expertly weaves a compelling narrative, reminiscent of the tradition set by social reformers such as Stephen Crane, who knew the power of engaging storytelling in igniting social debates. This paperback edition of "My Notorious Life" is now available for purchase.
