  • British Women Surgeons and their Patients, 1860–1918

    by Claire Brock ...
    When women agitated to join the medical profession in Britain during the 1860s, the practice of surgery proved both a help (women were neat, patient and used to needlework) and a hindrance (surgery was brutal, bloody and distinctly unfeminine).
