    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.

Why did this rivalry exist between these two pioneering women of medicine? Read my #debutnovel The Doctoress, available September 22nd, to find out. Preorder link in bio.

    Did you know that 150 years before the Lindsay Cla Did you know that 150 years before the Lindsay Clancy case, first wave feminists like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton defended a woman sentenced to death for the crime of infanticide? Dr. Clemence Lozier, the protagonist of my novel THE DOCTORESS, was the one to diagnose her with puerperal mania, better known now as postpartum psychosis. The real life story of Hester Vaughn is only one of the many exciting episodes in my book.

I mourned the loss of the jacket less than losing my favorite pins. Found this one @chq1874 bookstore the day after I finished my second book, heavily inspired by #joandidion
