Description

Surgery is the most martial and masculine of medical specialties. What, then, if the surgeon is a woman? An anthropologist enters this closely guarded arena to explore the work and lives of women practicing their craft in what is largely a man’s world. Cassell observed 33 surgeons in five North American cities over the course of three years.
