Book Clubs
The Unlocked Path has become a favorite with book clubs. A perfect choice for March - Women's History Month, or September - Women in Medicine Month, or any month when you're looking for insightful discussions around women's and family history, as well as women's health and society issues - then and now.
I’d love to join your group for an online Author Chat. Or, if my travels take me to your area, an in-person meeting would be awesome. Who knows? Maybe I’ll bring the wine.
Book Synopsis
Meet a “New Woman” of the 20th century: educated, career-minded, independent Eliza Pearson Edwards. In 1897 Philadelphia, after witnessing her aunt's suicide, Eliza rejects her mother’s wishes for a society debut, and at a time when five percent of doctors are female, she enters a woman’s medical college. With the support of a circle of women and driven by a determination to conquer curriculum demands, battle sexism, and overcome doubts, Eliza charts her new life path. Combining science and sympathy, she triumphs to heal others and herself.
