Welcome!

I’m Susan Brady Burd, librarian and writer. My debut novel, The Doctoress, is going to be published in summer 2026 by Historium Press! Please check back for news about when and where you can buy a copy of the book.

The Doctoress by Susan Brady Burd

Dr. Clemence Lozier, one of the very first women to earn a medical degree, and her daughter-in-law Charlotte, a doctor too, are amongst the first generation of women trying to ‘have it all.’ But post-Civil War New York is no Gilded Age for working women, and having such big dreams, at a time when women didn’t even have the right to vote, will prove to be a more dangerous choice than either of these two women could have imagined.

Maybe it was the continuing grey skies, but March Maybe it was the continuing grey skies, but March felt like a bit of a reading rut, despite the number of books read. The only standout was the Newbery Award winning All the Blues in the Sky which was remarkable. When I'm in a reading slump, I usually turn to nonfiction, or a classic, or I reread an old favorite (Blue Nights). Hopefully April will be better both in terms of books and weather!

Some of the many books I read over the years while Some of the many books I read over the years while researching and writing my debut novel The Doctoress. As a librarian, I knew I needed to get the history right, not only for my main character, but for the real-life women she interacted with in her work as a doctor and as a suffragist. These are the books I turned to again and again.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of my favorite char Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of my favorite characters to write about. A brilliant woman centuries ahead of her time in so many ways, yet like most of us, imperfect and flawed. It was so great to hear the author of this new biography speak about her at @hallwalls thanks to @talkingleavesbooks. An added treat was finding the name of my protagonist listed in the index!
