Outlander?
Yes read all of them but thanks
Clan of the Cave Bear!!!
Yes my fave, I’ve read them all but thanku xx
Anytime, sorry the only historical books featuring medical women I know are CotCB and Outlander. Phillipa Gregory does do an amazing historical fiction though!
@Stephanie both 2 of my fave book series… I’ve never found anything that comes close other than Sara donatis into the wilderness series…. Bloody amazing!!

I did find this list of GR. I just skimmed through some descriptions, some have medical figures!
Outlander series!! It’s actually 8 books and I’ve been addicted for over 25 years ?
I thought that one too, but shes already said she’s read it
@Stephanie shame… such a brilliant experience the first read! ?
I know! I just got my grandma hooked too!
I’ve been in love with Jamie Fraser longer than I’ve been in love with my husband ????
@Paula I love Jamie. Though due to my own inability to create accents, I had a really tough time reading his in the beginning ?
He kept sounding like a country bumpkin in my head, which was destroying all attractions I had ??
@Stephanie the TV series will be helping??!! Although it’s not as good as the books. As I live just south of the Scottish border and regularly holiday in Scotland I could always hear his voice perfectly x
@Paula I actually watched video clips of the actor for Jamie speaking, so I could place certain spellings, with certain sounds! It helped a lot!
@Stephanie I still have problems work the Gaelic!! It’s a small price to pay for such a wonderful
Story.
@Paula they are amazing hence my love of the medicine women….
Kelly Joel Trewin sorry we hijacked your post with an impromptu Jamie Fraser love-in!! I’m sitting in airport arrivals at Manchester waiting for
My delayed friend so I am enjoying the bants! x
@Paula never apoligise for discussing Mr fraser…. Ever!!!! ?
Should have brought a book…… ????
@Paula I fly between Portland OR, and Atlanta GA a lot, and I always make sure to have at least 5 different book options, depending on my mood of course ?
@Stephanie I’m collecting….not lucky enough to be flying this time
nothing nicer than a nice long journey with a crackin read!
Wildacre by Philipa Gregory
Yes I’ve read this too but thanku xx
And her previous 2 novels Dark Asylum and Beloved Poison. Also The Pharmacist’s Wife by Vanessa Tait was very good.
Clan of the Cave Bear for sure. Great read.
The Apothecary’s Daughter by Charlotte Betts
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/86643.Mistress_of_the_Art_of_Death. Not your typical medicine woman, early medieval pathologist/doctor. Excellent historical mystery series
Not medical, but science!
