I was invited by the publisher to review this book. This book is set in 1910, as Maisie leaves Scotland and poverty to make a life for herself in New York City. She embarks in the fashion industry and soon finds herself making creations for the elite of Manhattan. But she encounters many issues of that time, such as working in a man's world, an era before regulations, racism, and women's rights.
I enjoyed this book a lot - it takes place in an interesting timeframe, but also during an important social movement in society. This is a great book if you are looking for that historical feel, as the author does a great job of capturing that scene and feeling. I also enjoyed the peek into the fashion industry, from the design process to production.
Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Annabelle Marx's The Rebel of Seventh Avenue tells the story of Maisie McIntyre, a determined young seamstress who escapes poverty in Edinburgh to build a couture empire in New York City. We follow Maisie's journey as she confronts the challenges of a male-dominated industry, pursues her ambitious dreams, and finds love amidst the burgeoning fashion scene of the early 20th century.
We see Maisie's unwavering determination, particularly when facing the gender biases of the time. The historical backdrop of early 1900s New York, with its bustling energy and evolving social landscape, was well-crafted.
This is a must-read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction, especially those who appreciate stories of strong, independent women forging their own paths. The detailed descriptions of the fashion industry and Maisie's innovative designs made this novel a truly captivating read.
