To be a woman doctor in the 1920's was tough, especially if you worked in the Welfare Centre of an industrial Yorkshire town. Rose-who had the added disadvantage of being young and pretty-found that she to cope with elderly male prejudice from those above her, and apathetic ignorance and poverty from those she was trying to help.

This is a "jolly good read". I enjoy all of Elvi Rhodes' books very much. This one's from the UK and you won't find the author available in the US.
