BOOK DESCRIPTION
The “gripping and powerful” (Wall Street Journal) story of two pioneering suffragist doctors who shattered social expectations and transformed modern medicine during World War I.
A month after the start of the war in 1914, doctors Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson left for Paris, where they opened a hospital in a luxury hotel and treated hundreds of wounded taken from the French battlefields. Although before the war and the Spanish Flu, female doctors were limited to treating women and children, Flora and Louisa's work was so successful that the British army asked them to open a hospital in the heart of London . Nicknamed the Suffragette Hospital, Endell Street quickly became known for its life-saving treatments.
In No Man's Land, Wendy Moore illuminates this turbulent moment of world war and pandemic when women were, for the first time, allowed to operate on men. Their courage and genius are a powerful reminder of what women can accomplish against all odds.
