Summary

This novel "narrates the life of a young physician, Dr. Helen Brent, who refuses to give up medicine and marry a wealthy New York lawyer and social reformer. The novel reflects on her struggle for acceptance as a doctor and a lady as she treats wealthy New Yorkers; in particular, she often treats sexually transmitted infections, and the novel dwells on sex education and the social and medical impact of such health concerns on women"--Book seller.
