Doctor, mother, feminist, boss.

Confident, scared, capable, challenged, fierce, demanding, assertive, vulnerable.

Every woman wears many hats. Women around the globe face challenges in advancing in their careers, and of all careers, healthcare is one of the most challenging. Medicine Woman offers the stories of how women have reconciled their different experiences into a coherent whole, shaped by personal feelings as well as professional experience, creating a whole that is never perfect—but always learning and evolving.

Every woman who works in medicine or healthcare is, at her core, human.

Just like you.

Even the impossible is possible. These women are proof.

Medicine Women draws you in with laughter and heartbreak from the first story.

I was lucky to be given access to an advanced copy and was amazed by the vulnerability and frankness each storyteller possessed while sharing their truth.

What I enjoyed most about this book was the wide scope of experiences that were included and how this was further enriched with a colourful range of personalities and voices.

Medicine is about health and healing, but I found myself surprised at how multi-faceted the field really is, and I appreciated the detail in which certain professional situations were described. I was able to develop a deeper understanding of the complexity and gravity of each decision made not only when dealing with a patient but also with how each woman treats themselves. Especially when having to carry the weight of their individual encounters with sexism, racism, death, and abuse.

We can all relate to the continual cycle of self-doubt expressed in Medicine Women. The need to defend while simultaneously trying to convince yourself, as well as the people around you, that you deserve to be where you are; that the choices you have made and the reasons behind them were not wrong but don’t necessarily have to be right either. That overall, nothing is more important than compassion and authenticity.

Medicine Women is about the complexity of being and a reminder that while we feel alone at times, we are never truly alone.

A fantastic read! At times heart-breaking, totally captivating, INSPIRING!

Wow, It’s been a while since I picked up a book that I just couldn’t put down. A “just one more chapter” book.
I found myself reading late into the night, at lunchtime, sharing excerpts with my voice catching and my eyes brimming - You’ll need tissues!
It also left me burning at the blatant and insidious prejudices they face as women in medicine.
Their different perspectives, and writing styles keeps it fresh, and their unvarnished honesty keeps it authentic.
Their stories pricked my heart, and also left me reeling in awe of their tenacity and strength.
This is a book that needs to be read and shared.

Insight to medicine, life, and women in it, is an understatement

Reviewed in Australia on 18 July 2021

I am a middle aged white guy doctor who is truly in love with these stories. Each is an incredible insight to what it means to work in medicine, and each is also an incredible insight to being a woman, in medicine. I have overwhelming sympathy, but will never have empathy for the lives that comprised these thoughts. Is beautiful and funny across the board.

Hard to read, harder not to.

As a woman in medicine this book was almost too much in some ways. It made me remember things I'd forgotten and it helped me articulate somethings I've felt for a long time now. It was stunningly visceral. I cried reading it, but I walked away from it lighter and fully nourished.

Inspirational, captivating

Reviewed in Australia on 18 July 2021

Inspirational, captivating, are just some of the words to describe this book, and at times I felt these words still can’t do justice to describe how awe-inspiring and resilient that these women in medicine have experienced and overcome, to become who they are today.

So you want to be a doctor?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 July 2021

This is a collection of heartfelt accounts of how a number of women became a variety of medical practitioners. Nearly all of them recount the barriers they overcame before they got the hard-worn positions they strove to achieve, or the quirks of fate that set them on different paths.
One or two have a rant at the difficulties of being a woman in what they perceived as a man's world, but that gives pause for thought rather than alienates the reader.
Some of the contributions are right from the heart, and might bring a tear to the eyes of the empathetic or sympathetic reader.
Anyone, male or female, wanting to become a doctor, would benefit from reading this. Perhaps it would deter a few; better to find out earlier rather than later. Some may be inspired by the doggedness or determination described.

Ohh wow... I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The best part is that it "humanised" doctors/health care practitioners. Women doctors ARE "serial overachievers". Awesome read!! Lerato Khoele
