Her bustling \"boarding house\" provided birth control, abortions, and medical assistance to thousands of women, rich and poor alike. As her practice expanded, her notoriety swelled, establishing her as a prime target for tabloids, threats, and lawsuits. Far from fading into the background, she defiantly flaunted her wealth, parading across the city in designer clothes, expensive jewellery, and bejewelled carriages, rubbing her success in the faces of politicians, publishers, fellow physicians, and religious figures determined to bring her down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately for Madame Restell, her rise to the top of her field coincided with \"the greatest scam you've never heard about\" - the campaign to curtail women's power by restricting their access to both healthcare and careers. Powerful, secular men, threatened by women's burgeoning independence, were eager to declare abortion sinful, a position endorsed by newly minted male MDs who longed to edge out their feminine competition and turn medicine into a standardized, male-only practice. By unraveling the misogynistic and misleading lies that put women's lives in jeopardy, Jennifer Wright simultaneously restores Restell to her rightful place in history and obliterates the faulty reasoning underlying the foundation of what has since been dubbed the \"pro-life\" movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThought-provoking, character-driven, boldly written, and feminist as hell, \u003ci\u003eMadame Restell\u003c\/i\u003e is required reading for anyone and everyone who believes that when it comes to women's rights, women's bodies, and women's history, \u003cb\u003ewomen should have the last word\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849529381100,"sku":"9780306826818","price":56.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6008553482297.jpg?v=1759049106"},{"product_id":"she-kills-me-by-jennifer-wright-9781419748462","title":"She Kills Me","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn every tragic story, men are expected to be the killers.
