520    "In September 1914, a month after the outbreak of the 
       First World War, two British doctors, Flora Murray and 
       Louisa Garrett Anderson, set out for Paris. There, they 
       built a makeshift hospital in Claridge's, the luxury hotel,
       and treated hundreds of casualties carted in from France's
       battlefields. Until this war called men to the front, 
       female doctors had been restricted to treating only women 
       and children. But even skeptical army officials who 
       visited Flora and Louisa's Paris hospital sent back 
       glowing reports of their practice. Their wartime hospital 
       was at the cutting edge of medical care -- they were the 
       first to use new antiseptic and the first to use x-ray 
       technology to locate bullets and shrapnel. In No Man's 
       Land, Wendy Moore illuminates this turbulent moment when 
       women were, for the first time, allowed to operate on men.
       Even as medical schools still denied them entry, 
       Suffragettes across the country put down their bricks to 
       volunteer, determined to prove the value of female 
       doctors. Within months, Flora and Louisa were invited by 
       the British Army to set up two more hospitals-the first in
       northern France and the second a major military hospital 
       in the heart of London. Nicknamed the "Suffragettes' 
       Hospital," Endell Street became renowned as "the best 
       hospital in London," thanks to its pioneering treatments 
       and reputation for patriotism. It was also one of the 
       liveliest, featuring concerts, tea parties, pantomimes, 
       and picnics, in addition to surgeries. Moreover, Flora and
       Louisa were partners in life as well as in work. While 
       they struggled to navigate the glass ceiling of early 
       twentieth-century medical care, they also grappled with 
       the stresses and joys of their own relationship. But 
       although Flora, Louisa, and Endell Street effectively 
       proved that women doctors could do the work of men, when 
       the war was over, doors that had been opened were slammed 
       shut. Women found themselves once more relegated to 
       treating only women and children, and often in the poorest
       neighborhoods. It was not until World War II that women 
       were again permitted to treat men. Drawing from letters, 
       memoirs, diaries, army service records, and interviews, 
       Moore brings these remarkable women and their patients to 
       life and reclaims this important, spirited history. At a 
       time when women are campaigning as hard as ever for 
       equality, the fortitude and brilliance of Flora and Louisa
       serve as powerful reminders of what women can achieve 
       against all odds."--|cProvided by publisher.
