ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
"The Book of the Unnamed Midwife" by Meg Elison is a post-apocalyptic novel set in a world decimated by a deadly plague that has wiped out most of the population. The story follows a female midwife who must navigate a dangerous, lawless world where survival is a daily struggle. Disguising herself as a man to avoid the threats women face, she travels through ruined cities, encounters hostile survivors, and grapples with moral dilemmas. The novel explores themes of gender, survival, power dynamics, and the ethical challenges of healthcare in a collapsed society, all while focusing on human resilience in crisis.
