Censored Angel - Anthony Comstock's Nemesis
Listing Details
She will not be silenced! Brilliant, corseted, and haunted by spirits from the Borderlands, a young girl turns her back on the constrictions of Victorian society and strikes out on her own, becoming a mystic marriage counselor. Sharing what she views as essential sexual knowledge puts her in the crosshairs of Anthony Comstock, the nation’s Anti-Obscenity Postal Inspector. He promises to silence her forever. She vows to bring him down. With prison looming, Ida and her guardian angel must prepare for a battle they may not be able to win. This is a novel about sex, obscenity, and censorship. Any resemblance to current social issues is astonishingly remarkable. Warning: This book contains descriptions of sexual relations judged obscene in 1902, and of suicide.
