Reseña del libro "The Doctoress (en Inglés)"
In the turbulent years following the Civil War, New York City stands poised on the brink of a glittering new era. Industry is booming, fortunes are being made, and society proclaims itself modern. Yet for women, the promise of the future remains locked behind doors they are forbidden to open. Dr. Clemence Lozier, one of the first women in America to earn a medical degree, has spent her life defying convention. Brilliant, determined, and unwilling to accept the limits imposed upon her sex, she has fought tirelessly to prove that women belong in the operating room as much as in the parlor. Alongside her stands her equally gifted daughter-in-law, Dr. Charlotte Lozier, another pioneer determined to build a career while balancing the demands of marriage, family, and a society that insists a woman's ambitions should end at the front door. Together, these remarkable women become part of a bold new generation striving to "have it all" long before the phrase was ever spoken. But in a nation still reeling from war, where women cannot vote, prejudice runs deep, and powerful men guard their privilege with ruthless determination, every step toward equality comes at a cost. As they challenge the boundaries of medicine, politics, and society, the Lozier women find themselves entangled in rivalries, scandals, and dangerous enemies who will stop at nothing to silence them. Their fight for independence will test not only their courage and convictions but also the bonds of family, friendship, and love. Inspired by the extraordinary true story of two trailblazing physicians, this sweeping historical novel celebrates the women who dared to heal, to lead, and to dream in an age determined to keep them in the shadows-and reveals just how perilous the pursuit of those dreams could be.
