A Great Read!

My favorite part of "Conduct Unbecoming a Woman" is the expert storytelling skills and extensive details, side stories, and flat out lies exposed by the author. While painting a vivid cultural and historical background about the case of Dr. Mary Dixon Jones, although not completely unbiased Morantz-Sanchez really allows the evidence to speak for itself and the reader to make their own conclusions from the very beginning. While the stories described in the book are vivid and page turning, the points being made about the social aspects of Brooklynn in late 1800's are clear (although somewhat lengthy) as well. Overall this has been an exciting read and supports everything we previously read by Starr just further extending into the field of female physicians.
