Outlawed

Book • 2021
In 'Outlawed', Anna North crafts a story set in an alternate 19th-century America where a devastating flu pandemic has led to a society obsessed with procreation.

Ada, a 17-year-old midwife, is forced to leave her home after failing to conceive.

She first seeks refuge in a convent and then joins the Hole in the Wall Gang, a group of outcast women led by the enigmatic and nonbinary Kid. The gang's mission is to create a safe haven for women rejected by society, but their plan is fraught with danger.

The novel explores themes of gender, sexual expression, and the struggle for freedom in a rigidly patriarchal world.
