My Notorious Life - Thryft

Defiant midwife's rise in society threatens all.

My Notorious Life is a gripping historical novel about the life of a midwife named Axie Muldoon. The unique feature of the book is the unapologetic and daring protagonist who faces scandal and opposition from society due to her profession. This book would be a great read for those interested in strong female characters, historical fiction set in the 19th century, and the challenges faced by women in the medical field during this time period.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

‘In the end, they celebrated. They bragged. They got me finally, was their feeling. They said I would take my secrets to the grave. They should be so lucky.’ Defiant and daring, Axie Muldoon claws her way from the streets up to the dizzying heights of New York society. But as her fame grows and her name hits the headlines, her reputation as the most scandalous midwife of her time begins to threaten everything she holds dear. And one crusading official will not rest until he has brought about the downfall of ‘Madame X’. It will take all of Axie’s cunning to save both herself and those she loves from ruin…
