SUMMARY:Author Series: Inspired & Outraged: The Making of a Feminist Physician
DESCRIPTION:Inspired and Outraged is the intimate memoir of Alice Rothchild 
 from her adolescence to her mid-40s and the experiences that contributed to 
 her passion and power as a doctor\, an activist\, and a woman. Compiling 
 stories of her life in verse\, Rothchild explores the events of her 
 childhood\, her training as an obstetrician-gynecologist\, and her 
 discovery of feminism as a guiding force in her life. The book offers her 
 vulnerable insights into the sexist – and often contradictory – world 
 of medicine and how she forged a new\, womxn-centered healthcare path. Her 
 personal perspective reveals the many mundane to outrageous challenges that 
 she faced which led to her embrace of liberation politics in the 1960s and 
 beyond. The book’s free verse construction uses poetry to express the 
 important moments that not only touch the mind but also a cauldron of 
 feelings. Rothchild’s voice encapsulates her perseverance in the face of 
 the male-dominated medical world and the shifting sexual politics of the 
 late twentieth century. This memoir is both a record of the past and an 
 urgent call to action. \n\nThis event will be moderated by HMS medical 
 student Susan Gonzalez.\n\nYou can borrow the book from Countway Library 
 via https://id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/99158269424903941/catalog or you can
