Mary Ann Sate, Imbecile, Hardcover

Descriere

Mary Ann Sate's hare-lip saw her persecuted for bearing the 'devil's mark', dismissed as a half-wit and recorded only as an 'imbecile' in the 1887 death register. In this fictional found memoir, Alice Jolly proposes there was more to Mary Ann than this, imbuing the silenced women of the past with a poetic and insightful voice in this rich portrait of Mary Ann's life.
