Ann-Marie Giglio
When COVID slowly drained my small business, I took stock of my life, packed three suitcases, and moved to San Francisco to complete an MFA, a lifelong dream I’ve had. Now that I’ve done that, I’m launching my third career as a writer with a wide-angle view and a deep dive.
What am I working on now?
The long-term project is an historical novel set in 19th century Manhattan which tells the story of a young woman trying to navigate the city’s patriarchy and nascient capitalism to carve our a life for herself as a single woman and an abortionist/midwife. As public sentiments change, she also has to dodge the attention of a self-appointed crusader who has sworn to shut every abortionist in the city.

The exciting news is I am working on my first novel, The Sisterhood of Care, a historical fiction. It’s about a gutsy woman in 19th century Manhattan who takes to wearing trousers so she can get from the world of men what she wants: an education and a career as an abortionist.
