Women's work is a matter of life and death Nora Beady, the only
female student at a prestigious medical school in Bologna, is a
rarity. In the 19th century women are expected to remain at home
and raise children, so her unconventional, indelicate ambitions to
become a licensed surgeon offend the men around her. Under constant
scrutiny, Nora's successes are taken for granted; her mistakes used
as proof that women aren't suited to the field. Everything changes
when she allies herself with Magdalena Morenco, the sole female
doctor on-staff. Together the two women develop new techniques to
improve a groundbreaking surgery: the Cesarean section. It's a
highly dangerous procedure and the research is grueling, but even
worse is the vitriolic response from men. Most don't trust the
findings of women, and many can choose to deny their wives medical
care. Already facing resistance on all sides, Nora is shaken when
she meets a patient who will die without the surgery. If the
procedure is successful, her work could change the world. But a
failure could cost everything: precious lives, Nora's career, and
the role women will be allowed to play in medicine.
