I loved this book! It was really interesting and I learnt so much about the struggles of studying/working in medicine as a woman in the nineteenth/twentieth centuries.
My favourite thing about this book was the structure. Each chapter being dedicated to a biography of a different woman made the book really engaging and fast paced. Each chapter felt new and like it was adding more insight and information, given the breadth of personalities and backgrounds of the women covered.
Overall I would definitely recommend this book.
The only thing I think could have been improved would be an opening chapter that provided historical and social context to the time period covered in the book, as not everyone reading this book will have knowledge of Indian society and governance at this time.
