Prosecutors and judges, doctors and journalists, ordinary citizens and members of parliament: it seemed as if all of America had risen up against the notorious Madame Restell, who openly provided contraception and abortion services for four decades during the Victorian era, when everything about the female body was assiduously hushed up. Her case became the first step in a long campaign to criminalize abortion in the United States; for many decades before, the procedure had been perfectly legal. This book is not only a fascinating biography of the scandalous heroine of newspaper articles, legislative debates, and court reports, but also a chronicle of the struggle for reproductive rights and the colossal moral panic that gripped the West.
