Abstract

Anna North's novel "Outlawed" presents an alternative history set in the US West in 1894, where a plague has reshaped society's views on reproduction and gender roles. The protagonist, Ada, navigates a world where barrenness is suspect and joins a group of outlaws to seek forbidden knowledge on gynecology. Through Ada's journey, the novel challenges historical narratives on reproductive health and questions societal norms. "Outlawed" offers a blend of serious exploration of reproductive issues and a genre-bending adventure, inviting readers to reflect on contemporary reproductive legislation.
