IF SHE WERE A MAN – AMAZON BOOKS
When May Dugas took control of her own destiny, overcoming her simple Midwestern life to enjoy the finest of luxurious living. Far from a fairy tale coming true, the rungs on the ladder she climbed are littered with stories of deception, blackmail, and broken hearts strewn across continents, a reputation that came with a rail car of baggage. Excavating these stories and building out her world helps bring context to the whispers. A cartoon version of her life lived through the words of Pinkerton detectives found in the Chicago Tribune archives. While there is no agreed narrative, May’s talent for reinvention during times that a woman was rarely allowed her own agency, is breath taking.
