Very cool, thanks for the rec, I just added it to my Goodreads list! I also read that Sara Josephine Baker was asked to lecture at NYU Med school even though as a woman she couldn't enroll there! Later they let her in and she became the first woman to earn a doctorate in public health. Thanks for reading and for your support, Kristen!
This reminded me of a great book I read last year: No Man’s Land by Wendy Moore. It’s about two British women who ran a military hospital in England during WWI, at a time when women physicians in England had only been allowed to provide charity care for women and children. Their work was groundbreaking and their hospital considered the best in the country by a long shot. It’s a great read — I highly recommend it! https://bookshop.org/p/books/no-man-s-land-the-trailblazing-women-who-ran-britain-s-most-extraordinary-military-hospital-during-world-war-i-wendy-moore/15034541
