An industrious woman who built her business from the ground up, Restell was a self-taught surgeon on the cutting edge of healthcare, and her bustling boarding house provided birth control, abortions, and medical assistance to thousands of womenrich and poor alike. As her practice expanded, her notoriety swelled, and Restell established herself as a prime target for tabloids, threats, and lawsuits galore. But far from fading into the background, she flaunted her wealth defiantly, parading across the city in designer duds and expensive jewelry, rubbing her success in the faces of the many politicians, publishers, religious zealots, and male competitors determined to bring her down.Unfortunately for Madame Restell, her rise to the top of her field coincided with the greatest scam youve never heard about: the campaign to curtail womens power by restricting their access to healthcare. For centuries, midwives and female practitioners, like Restell, had tended to public healthcare needs of both men and women. But after the birth of the medical clinic, newly-minted male MDs were eager to edge out their feminine competitionby forcing women back into the home and turning medicine into a standardized, male-only practice. At the same time, a group of powerful, secular menthreatened by womens burgeoning independence in other fieldspersuaded the Christian leadership to declare abortion a sin, rewriting the meaning of Christian morality to protect their own interests. By unraveling the misogynistic and misleading lies that put womens health in jeopardy, Wright simultaneously restores Restell to her rightful place in history and obliterates the faulty, fractured reasoning underlying the very foundation of what has since been dubbed the pro-life movement.Thought-provoking, character-driven, boldly written, and feminist as hell, Madame Restell is required reading for anyone and everyone who believes that when it comes to womens rights, womens bodies, and womens history, women should have the last word.(*_*)9781549139413_Discover the true story of a self-taught surgeon and trailblazing figure in medical historyMadame Restsell, a revolutionary surgeon who fought for womens rights and healthcare in Gilded Age New York.Madame Restell is a sharp, witty Gilded Age medical history which introduces us to an iconic, yet tragically overlooked, feminist heroine: a glamorous womens healthcare provider in Manhattan, known to the world as Madame Restell. A celebrity in her day with a flair for high fashion and public, petty beefs, Restell was a self-made woman and single mother who used her wit, her compassion, and her knowledge of family medicine to become one of the most in-demand medical workers in New York. Not only that, she used her vast resources to care for the most vulnerable women of the city: unmarried women in need of abortions, birth control, and other medical assistance. In defiance of increasing persecution from powerful men, Restell saved the lives of thousands of young women and, in fact, as author Jennifer Wright says in own words, despite having no formal training and a near-constant steam of women knocking at her door, she never lost a patient. Restell was a revolutionary who opened the door to the future of reproductive choice for women, and Wright brings Restell and her circle to life in this dazzling, sometimes dark, and thoroughly entertaining tale.In addition to uncovering the forgotten history of Restell herself, the book also doubles as an eye-opening look into the greatest American scam youve never heard about: the campaign to curtail womens power by restricting their access to healthcare. Before the 19th century, abortion and birth control were not only legal in the United States, but fairly common, and public healthcare needs (for women and men alike) were largely handled by midwives and female healers. However, after the Birth of the Clinic, newly-minted male MDs wanted to push women out of their spaceby forcing women back into the home and turning medicine into a standardized, male-only practice. At the same time, a group of powerful, secular menthreatened by womens burgeoning independence in other fieldspersuaded the Christian leadership to declare abortion a sin, rewriting the meaning of Christian morality to protect their own interests. As Wright explains, their campaign to do so was so insidiousand successfulthat it remains largely unrecognized to this day, a century and a half later. By unraveling the misogynistic and misleading lies that put womens health in jeopardy, Wright simultaneously restores Restell to her rightful place in history and obliterates the faulty, fractured reasoning underlying the very foundation of what has since been dubbed the pro-life movement.Thought-provoking, character-driven, funny, and feminist as hell, Madame Restell is required reading for anyone and everyone who believes that when it comes to womens rights, womens bodies, and womens history, women should have the last word.Audiobook features an exclusive conversation between author and narrator....9781549139413_Hachette Audioaudiolibro_271c5d5f-3ccd-380f-a6d7-4436fd4bbfd4_9781549139413;9781549139413_9781549139413Jennifer WrightInglésMéxicoNoMINUTE2023-02-28T00:00:00+00:00Hachette Audio
