Description

Anthropologist Joan Cassell enters the closely guarded surgeon's arena to explore the work and lives of women practicing their craft in what is largely a man's world. Cassell followed the daily lives of five women surgeons over the course of three years. The result is an insightful account of how being female influences the way the surgeon is perceived by colleagues, nurses, patients, superiors--and even by herself.
