Summary:
"What happens when a person's reputation has been forever damaged? With archival photographs and text among other primary sources, this riveting biography of
Mary
Mallon by the Sibert medalist and Newbery Honor winner Susan Bartoletti 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? And who is really responsible for the lasting legacy of
Typhoid
Mary
? This thorough exploration includes an author's note, timeline, annotated source notes, and bibliography" -- Provided by publisher.
