Examinations performed by male doctors were often demeaning and even painful. In addition, women faced stigma from illness—a diagnosis could greatly limit their ability to find husbands, jobs, or be received in polite society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMotivated by personal loss and frustration over inadequate medical care, Elizabeth Blackwell, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, and Sophia Jex-Blake fought for a woman's place in the male-dominated medical field. For the first time ever, \u003ci\u003eWomen in White Coats\u003c\/i\u003e tells the complete history of these three pioneering women who, despite countless obstacles, earned medical degrees and paved the way for other women to do the same. Though very different in personality and circumstance, together these women built women-run hospitals and teaching colleges—creating for the first time medical care for women by women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith gripping storytelling based on extensive research and access to archival documents, \u003ci\u003eWomen in White Coats\u003c\/i\u003e tells the courageous history these women made by becoming doctors, detailing the boundaries they broke in terms of gender and science to reshape how we receive medical care today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45707526406380,"sku":"9781800752481","price":25.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781800752481.jpg?v=1725900959"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/olivia-campbell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
