Book excerpt: Remarkable Women of the Freak Show is about the courage of a group of women born disadvantaged in most ways during the Victorian era into the early twentieth century when women were little more than second class citizens without any rights.Marriage was the only option for most women as a means of support. These women would have been burdens for their families or put in institutions.While it has become popular to demonize the freak show it was their way out, it was their only opportunity to make a living and it was their only path to independence and empowerment.I tell each of their stories and honor them for their perseverance and courage.
