In the late 1800s, abortion practitioner Nancy Guilford gets caught up in the death of a patient in Bridgeport, and then flees the country, before being returned to face her trial. Marcia Biederman comes into our podcast studio to talk about late 19th century intrigue, society, & medicine, as in her book, The Disquieting Death of Emma Gill.
