About this ebook
The spellbinding story of the most Irish famous abortionist of the 1940s and 1950s, Mamie Cadden. Mamie Cadden was born in the US of Co. Mayo parents who returned to Ireland soon after her birth. Mamie qualified as a midwife from the National Maternity Hospital in 1925 and started work in one of Dublin's many nursing homes.
Soon after she established her own home, St. Maelruins, in Rathmines.

When she emerged in 1940 she began to concentrate on the busy abortion services in Dublin, a service which would eventually land her in jail for the rest of her life...
