Nora Beadie, a protégé of the talented surgeon Horace Croft, is an outcast in the company of men. But what can she do? At the prestigious University of Bologna, where she studies medicine, she is surrounded only by men, who resent the idea of a woman, whose destiny is to stay home and bear children, encroaching on their profession.

Everything changes when Nora teams up with Magdalena Marenco, the only female doctor on the university faculty. Together, they attempt to perfect a revolutionary cesarean section. The procedure is extremely dangerous, the research is incredibly challenging, and Nora finds the disdainful reactions of the men even more difficult. Most of them are willing to deny medical care even to their own wives, rather than allow this brazen upstart to perform the operation. Her longing for her native London, where she left behind her beloved Daniel and her aging mentor, adds to her joy. Fighting on all fronts, Nora stubbornly strives to change the world and earn the right to the profession she loves.
