NYC in 1883 - after watching "The Guilded Age" I was inspired to experience the era more. This book takes place at the same time in the same city as the TV show (both include the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge), but this story focuses on a very different and very compelling area. Lots of elements in this book: Female doctors, Women's rights, abortion and birth control, immigration, racism, on and on.
