I love those books! Madame Restell is a fascinating individual. She wrote no memoirs, but the editorials she wrote gives you an insight into her character.Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-74980766156270448462008-04-11T04:25:00.000-04:002008-04-11T04:25:00.000-04:00I first heard of Madame Restell in Carole Nelson D...I first heard of Madame Restell in Carole Nelson Douglas' Irene Adler series.

Yes, I have seen Vera Drake, and loved it. Both women wanted to help but Vera's take was much more altruistic than Madame Restell's. Her help made her a great deal of money, and she threw it in everyone's face. How that must have pissed off the 19th Century American Victorians. A totally ballsy woman.Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-57509509273945203932008-04-10T00:34:00.000-04:002008-04-10T00:34:00.000-04:00FASCINATING.

Heartbreaking, and a very different character but makes me think of similar social issues at stake.Leanna Renee Hieberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687827421608625020noreply@blogger.com
