    About the Author

    Susan Brady Burd is a librarian who always dreamed of finding her own book amongst the shelves. Her first book The Doctoress was inspired by her journey recovering the health of her children using alternative medicine, and specifically homeopathy. She lives near Buffalo, NY with her husband and two sons where she spends the long winters reading by the fireplace and the summers biking along the shores of Lake Erie. Currently she is hard at work on a historical fiction novel set in the Sixties, inspired by the work of Joan Didion.

    Elizabeth Blackwell and Clemence Lozier both fough Elizabeth Blackwell and Clemence Lozier both fought to become doctors. They just refused to do it together.
Two women. Two medical degrees earned in a world that said neither should exist. And yet, between them stretched an ‘icy gulf,’ one that Susan B. Anthony tried many times to bridge.
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.
