My Name Is Meggie

Description

Eager to discover the world beyond her small Colorado town, young Meggie Bowman leaves her home at the turn of the 20th century in search of adventure. Her quest first takes her to New Orleans, where her long-lost uncle may have last been seen. She goes on to Paris and rural France, living there through most of World War I. Upon returning to the United States she settles in New York City, opens an illegal birth-control clinic, becomes an active suffragette, and eventually attends law school, spending the rest of her working life as an attorney advocating for women's rights. A feminist before the word was coined, she lives the life she has chosen with only one regret-leaving her infant daughter to be raised by her parents, a choice she hopes to rectify in later years. My Name Is Meggie , a sequel to the author's historical novel, Journeying, presents the extraordinary life of a strong, independent woman at a time when women were struggling for respect and the freedom to live the lives they chose.
