A brilliant and ambitious woman is eager to establish her career as
a doctor but is forced to choose between her occupation and married
life. This timely tale presents an internal conflict facing women
in the nineteenth century and beyond. Nan is a bright young woman
who grows up under the tutelage of the widowed physician, Dr.
Leslie. She became interested in medicine at an early age and
decides to pursue it as an adult. Unfortunately, her desire to
start a career goes against the social conventions of the day.
Women are expected to prioritize marriage and children over any
profession. Yet, Nan struggles to desert her goals to appease
others. It's a trying dilemma that pits her against her family,
friends and local residents. A Country Doctor is a
semiautobiographical story influenced by the author's personal path
to independence. The novel explores the many limitations women
encounter when attempting to establish a career. It's a
forward-thinking tale and source of encouragement for those seeking
professional growth. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A Country Doctor
is both modern and readable.
