My Name Is Mary Sutter, by Robin Oliveira
I’ve come across an intriguing bit of Historical Fiction, a debut novel by Robin Oliveira, called MY NAME IS MARY SUTTER, from Viking. I was drawn to it partly because of my own interest in midwifery and then was happy to discover that it relates a fascinating and well-researched account of the evolution of the nursing profession at the start of the Civil War and the path to first female doctors in The United States.
Here’s a nifty, quick interview with Ms. Oliveira on The Leonard Lopate Show on WNYC.
