I read this book to death when I was little. I loved the portayal of a strong woman, reaching her goals and achieving her dreams! Now that I found it again, I will see if I still love it as much. I read it in dutch though and the cover was much nicer hahahahttp://www.boekbeschrijvingen.nl/wood...Every once in a while I read books that stay in my head after Im finished. This was one of those books. Magnificent in scope and information. If I ever wish I had lived in a bygone era, I will think of this story and what it was really like for a woman. Im old enough to know that for doctors, shedding that I am superior, there, there,little woman, its all in your head attitude, took a very long time to fade away.
Ok, two things: I started reading this book wanting to like it but assuming I wouldn't. Maybe I'm just an immature American man, but it was too slow and boring for me.

I liked the characters and found the glimpse into the time period and setting of the book to be interesting and enjoyable. There were a few times where the author skipped over major events and took up the story several years later, which felt a little disjointed, and I do wonder if all of the medical advances that
I really enjoyed this historical move fictionalizing what it would have been like to be a female doctor in the late 1800s. A bit of a soap opera, but super entertaining.
5 "An Indomitable Spirit" Stars for the story and 4.5 Stars for the narration!Wow, simply wow! If you're looking for something that will truly make you appreciate just how far women and medicine have come, then this incredible story of a female doctor/surgeon pioneer, set in London/New York, and San Francisco and commencing in the late 19th Century, will no doubt touch your heart and humble you. A better argument for the existence of the FDA (the US Food & Drug Administration) which
