The Girl in His Shadow by Audrey Blake
4.0
A compelling and well-researched story of a young woman growing up in a surgeon's household in the 1840s. She learns all about medicine and surgery from him and then finds herself unable to practice it due to English law.
There is a lot of historical fiction with the scientific woman before her time theme. The number of books with this theme is somewhat overwhelming, but this version is definitely worth reading.
