英文简介:
**An Amazon EDITOR’S PICK for BEST BOOKS OF THE MONTH (March 2023)** **A Bookshop.
Org EDITOR’S PICK (March 2023)** “This is the story of one of the boldest women in American history: self-made millionaire, a celebrity in her era, a woman beloved by her patients and despised by the men who wanted to control them.
” An industrious immigrant who built her business from the ground up, Madame Restell was a self-taught surgeon on the cutting edge of healthcare in pre-Gilded Age New York, and 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, and Restell established her-self as a prime target for tabloids, threats, and lawsuits galore.
But far from fading into the background, she defiantly flaunted her wealth, parading across the city in designer clothes, expensive jewelry, and bejeweled carriages, rubbing her success in the faces of the many politicians, publishers, fellow physicians, and religious figures determined to bring her down.
Unfortunately 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 of their own.
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, Wright simultaneously restores Restell to her rightful place in history and obliterates the faulty 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 women’s rights, women’s bodies, and women’s history, women should have the last word.

**亚马逊编辑推荐的本月最佳图书（2023 年 3 月）** **Bookshop.Org 编辑推荐（2023 年 3 月）**“这是美国历史上最大胆的女性之一的故事：白手起家百万富翁，她那个时代的名人，一个深受病人喜爱，却被想要控制他们的男人鄙视的女人。
”作为一名白手起家的勤奋移民，雷斯特尔夫人是一位自学成才的外科医生，在前镀金时代的纽约处于医疗保健的前沿，她熙熙攘攘的“寄宿处”提供节育、堕胎和医疗援助数以千计的女性——无论贫富。
随着她的业务范围扩大，她的名声越来越大，雷斯特尔将自己确立为小报、威胁和大量诉讼的主要目标。
但她并没有淡出人们的视线，而是大胆地炫耀自己的财富，穿着名牌服装、昂贵的珠宝和镶有珠宝的马车在城市中游行，在许多政客、出版商、医生同行和宗教人士面前炫耀自己的成功。
让她失望。
不幸的是，对于雷斯特尔夫人来说，她登上自己领域的顶峰恰逢“你从未听说过的最大骗局”——通过限制女性获得医疗保健和自己的职业来削弱女性权力的运动。
强大的、世俗的男人——受到女性迅速独立的威胁——急于宣布堕胎是有罪的，这一立场得到了新晋男性医学博士的认可，他们渴望在女性竞争中脱颖而出，并将医学变成一种标准化的、仅限男性的实践。
通过揭开将女性生命置于危险之中的厌恶女性和误导性谎言，赖特同时恢复了雷斯特尔在历史上的应有地位，并抹杀了后来被称为“反堕胎”运动的基础的错误推理。
雷斯特尔夫人发人深省、性格驱动、大胆写作和地狱般的女权主义者，对于任何相信在谈到妇女权利、妇女身体和妇女历史时，妇女应该拥有最终决定权的人和每个人来说，这本书都是必读之物。
