by Annie Nathan Meyer (Author), Stephanie Peebles Tavera (Introduction by)
Annie Nathan Meyer's 1892 novel Helen Brent, M.D. narrates one woman's struggle for public acceptance as a doctor and a lady among the New York City elite. Unlike earlier works of medical fiction, Helen Brent M.D. does not offer just a marriage-or-career narrative but also a treatise on sex education. Dr. Brent is a skilled surgeon, a New Woman, who also deals with the negative effects of venereal diseases and other social ills of the urban elite on women's health.
