AbstractHistoryArchive Description

English tale of professional competition and romance. An outstanding well-qualified female doctor in Hampshire wins the serious local doctor's patients from him by her skill, and after he has an accident one night her skill and womanliness wins his heart too - and his admission that women can be good doctors. She refuses his offer to remain true to biology. Light argument for women's complete capacity to be good doctors. (PB)
