As part of my research for historical fiction novels, I continually encounter the extraordinary yet often overlooked contributions of women in medicine.

This program shines a light on these remarkable figures, from early history through the modern era. Through engaging storytelling grounded in historical research, it celebrates women whose courage, intellect, and compassion changed the course of healthcare and improved countless lives.
