Average Rating: 
Rating: - women's rights in medical profession--Victorian age
Beautiful portrayal of late 1800's medicine in England highlighting the superficiality of the times and the struggles of a woman in medicine, a "man's" profession, and of the few men who attempted to be supportive of her. Graphic depictions of the poor medicine being practiced as well as the threatening role of a woman questioning some of the prejudices and practices of the time--helpful that her father is a physician as well.
