BRAMWELL SERIES ONE - 1995

In 1895, women were not expected to work - or even know about - medicine.
Women were expected to work as house-wives, mothers, teachers and nurses.
One woman was determined to change that. Eleanor Bramwell works under Sir
Herbert Hamilton's supervision. She isn't happy. After he stupidly loses
a perfectly healthy young mother, Eleanor decides it is time to make her
mark in medical history. Mocked by fellow medical students and questioned
by her father, Doctor Robert Bramwell, Eleanor is soon given a renovated
building - by donation of the kind Lady Cora Peters - and begins her own
infirmary - The Thrift. But with all odds against her, will she survive?
Will she make her dream come true? Will her colleagues trust her?
