Produktbeschreibung

In the spring of 1875, the city of Boston was still clinging stubbornly to its cobblestone streets and sober traditions. Dr. Clara Whitaker threaded her way briskly through the narrow alleys every morning, her medical bag thumping against her hip, her mind already racing ahead to the day's patients. She wore a professionally styled dress, hat and gloves.

Despite years of tireless study at the Woman's Medical College, and a residency at the city's charity hospital, Clara's ambitions routinely collided with the same high, invisible wall: She was a woman, and the men who ran Boston's medical establishment would never let her forget it. She was allowed to practice, in theory, but it was always under the scrutinizing gaze of elder physicians who delighted in reminding her where she did not belong.

Autorenporträt

I was born in England, but have lived in Southern California for many years. I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
