Finished #reading The Frozen River, #historicalFiction set in Maine and inspired by Martha Ballard journals (1735 – 1812). It is a story of a literate,#feminist midwife with a principled, ethical husband and 1/2 dozen mainly adult children. The interesting cast of characters, the greed and corruption of the #patriarchy, land theft, and plight of #women are the bones of this compelling story. It confirms the old adage that #racism, #sexism and misogyny often come in the same package.
