Book by Gabrielle Allan and Jennifer Crittenden

In Female Troubles, Elinor Benton finds herself surprisingly and undeniably knocked up — and, since she's unmarried and this is 19th century England, she has a very big problem. Facing devastating ruin, Elinor and her girlfriends set off on a raucous carriage trip to London seeking the services of Madame Restell, an infamous midwife who advertises cures for women with “female troubles.” Through the lens of the past, this original musical comedy comments on the present, asking the trenchant question, “Can You Believe This Sh*t's Still Happening in 1810?”

DeBose and Milligan recorded “A Woman Knows” as friends of the authors. The song marks the culmination of the rollicking journey of leading lady Elinor Benton and her maid, Dabney, where they face a crucial decision that they must each make for themselves.
