Petticoat Surgeon is a memoir written by Bertha Van Hoosen, a pioneering female surgeon who fought against gender barriers in the medical field. The book chronicles her journey from a young girl growing up on a farm in Michigan to becoming one of the first female surgeons in the United States. Despite facing discrimination and opposition, Van Hoosen persevered and became a highly respected surgeon, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. She also played a significant role in the women's suffrage movement, advocating for women's rights and equality. The book provides a fascinating insight into the challenges and triumphs of a woman breaking through gender barriers in a male-dominated field, as well as the history of medicine and women's rights in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
