Join three specialists for a discussion on the writing of women doctors, past and present.
They will explore the anonymous newspaper articles written by Sophia Jex-Blake, leader of the Edinburgh Seven. They will also discuss the controversial writing of eugenicist and birth control advocate Marie Stopes. Finally, we've got a 21st century bestseller - one half of the writing duo known as Ambrose Parry, sharing her experiences.
