A witty and powerful graphic tribute to 20 women who changed the course of medicine, and were nearly erased from History.
This compelling and richly illustrated graphic novel brings to life 20 courageous women who shaped the evolution of medicine across continents and centuries. From Ancient Egypt to medieval France, from Auschwitz to 21st-century refugee camps, they challenged patriarchal authority to practice, heal, and innovate. Many were doctors in all but title, risking everything to bring care to the vulnerable and change the field from within.
Featuring stories of Merit Ptah, Louise Bourgeois, Maria Montessori, Tu Youyou, Iqbal Al Assaad, and many more, this book combines historical rigor with humor, heart, and feminist fire. It’s an accessible, inspiring homage to the women who made medicine what it is, and deserve to be remembered.
