Description: Hospital With a Heart: Women Doctors and the Paradox of Separatism at the New England Hospital, 1862-1969 By Virginia G. Drachman Published: Cornell Univ Pr, 1984.258 pp. Hardcover in original binding and dust jacket. Not Ex-Lib.Hospital with a Heart: Woman Doctors and the Paradox of Separatism at the New England Hospital, 1862-1969"...examines the dilemma that confronted nineteenth- and twentieth-century women doctors as they sought to preserve their all-women's institutions and to succeed in the male-dominated medical profession. It is at once women's history, medical history, institutional history, and a study of the impact of professionalization on women. This book tells the story of one of the most important all-women's hospitals in America, the New England Hospital for Women and Children. From its founding, the hospital provided women doctors with professional opportunities apart from men; eventually all-male medical institutions admitted women. The result, Drachman demonstrates, was a paradox: Separatism originally laid the path to equality for women in medicine, but integration gradually afforded a competing route to professional equality, challing the separtist traditions of women doctors. By the turn of the century, the New England Hospital confronted its most formidable challenge: the opportunities of integration."I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
