BOOK REVIEW
SCRIBNER
Historical novel addresses hot debate
MADDY MIKINSKI
mmikinski@kansan.com
What could be more relevant than a historical fiction novel about 19th century midwifery? The answer: A lot of things. Nowadays, midwifery is still a profession, though a dwindling one. But in 2013, most women would rather their children be born in a hospital than their own home. "My Notorious Life" by Kate Manning, a historically accurate novel about midwives set 150 years ago, shows us that today's issues date back long before the 21st century.
"My Notorious Life" follows Axie Muldoon, an Irish "half-orphan" living in the New York slums. She spends the first 14 years of her life surrounded by poverty and disease. After the death of her mother, Axie is taken in by a successful midwife and taught the business.
This is pretty impressive in
a time when the word "pregnant" carried the weight of the F-word. After her mentor kicks the bucket due to laudanum poisoning, Axie starts her own business selling pharmaceuticals with midwifery on the side. Years later, it's revealed that Axie, in addition to selling pills and helping with childbirth, has been performing abortions. The public outcry is massive. Axie's manslaughter trial becomes a citywide focal point, involving everyone from the media to everyday people. This is where the modern-day parallels begin to appear. The mobs that form outside Axie's house are suggestive of the protests that take place outside abortion clinics today. The level of controversy between then and now hasn't changed. The whole "life begins at conception" argument was very apparent then, just
as it is now. These similarities enhance the book and give it more grounding for us as modern readers. We understand where both sides are coming from because we've witnessed them firsthand. The allusion to a modern topic is what makes "My Notorious Life" stand out from its historical competition. Most of us can't imagine being caught in French trenches or having to ride in a wagon across the continent, but we do understand the intensity of the abortion debate and understand how it drives people to the point of rioting. Manning's book is a provocative read for both the historically- and contemporarily-minded. It pulls together the old and new in a way that shows us today's issues have been going on for a lot longer than we previously thought.
