The true story of two pioneering suffragette doctors who transformed modern medicine, raised standards for patient care, and shattered social expectations for women in WWI-era London.
What The Reviewers Say
Moore has an eye for a telling detail and a nose for a good character.
Based on diaries, correspondence and newspaper accounts, it’s an absorbing and powerful narrative of how two determined women used the crisis of war to create an opportunity to accomplish goals that they couldn’t achieve in peacetime.
In addition to being a remarkable history of the achievements of Drs. Murray and Anderson, this is a moving and harrowing history of World War I.
... a marvelous book.
