This book is a magnificent reminder that the successes in the fight for equality belong to women who truly changed the world.
They were rejected by universities. They were barred from practicing medicine. They were not trusted with complex surgeries. Their knowledge was viewed with skepticism. But they did not give up. They besieged the Sorbonne and Harvard. They opened private clinics. They gave public lectures. Their success provoked a storm of reactions from male doctors, who declared in their books that women should not study or practice medicine, as their purpose was to bear and raise children. And yet, the results of women's health research conducted by female doctors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries shook the foundations of medical science.
Powerful, gripping, cinematic stories of women who believed in themselves and prevailed.
