It's a book fundamentally about medicine, a woman who deeply understands medicine tries to impart her knowledge (or at a minimum practice medicine safely) in a society that does not believe what she says. I think more broadly Inversions explores the way in which progress and social change is mistrusted by the powerful. It speaks to the danger of driving necessary change.
