A Sunday Times Book of the Year As featured on the BBC Radio 2 Book
Club Dr James Barry: Inspector General of Hospitals, army surgeon,
duellist, reformer, ladykiller, eccentric. He performed the first
successful Caesarean in the British Empire, outraged the military
establishment and gave Florence Nightingale a dressing down at
Scutari. At home he was surrounded by a menagerie of animals,
including a cat, a goat, a parrot and a terrier. Long ago in Cork,
Ireland, he had also been a mother. This is the amazing tale of
Margaret Anne Bulkley, the young woman who broke the rules of
Georgian society to become one of the most respected surgeons of
the century. In an extraordinary life, she crossed paths with the
British Empire's great and good, royalty and rebels, soldiers and
slaves. A medical pioneer, she rose to a position that no woman
before her had been allowed to occupy, but for all her successes,
her long, audacious deception also left her isolated, even costing
her the chance to be with the man she loved.
