In a riveting biography that reads like a crime novel, Sibert
medalist and Newbery Honor winner Susan Campbell Bartoletti
uncovers the true story of Mary Mallon, a.k.a. Typhoid Mary, one of
the most misunderstood women in American history. With archival
photographs and text, among other primary sources, this riveting
biography looks beyond the tabloid scandal of Mary's controversial
life. How she was treated by medical and legal officials reveals a
lesser-known story of human and constitutional rights, entangled
with the science of pathology and enduring questions about who Mary
Mallon really was. How did her name become synonymous with deadly
disease? What happens when a person's reputation has been forever
damaged? And who is really responsible for the lasting legacy of
Typhoid Mary? Terrible Typhoid Mary also examines extreme public
health measures at the time and public misconceptions around
disease. Includes an author's note, timeline, annotated source
notes, and bibliography.
