My Name is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira
3.0

All Mary Sutter wants in life is to be a surgeon, too bad she was living in the 1861. A midwife, Mary tried multiple avenues to learn to be a surgeon. Tired of rejections Mary left home to volunteer as a nurse for the Union Army.

The book was fairly entertaining. Though from a prominent family she is still bound by expectations from society and her family that she has to negotiate. It was interesting to see Mary's view as she struggles to get out of the box that she has been placed in.
