New event from Village Books - Averil Mansfield

[Village Books]

Averil Mansfield is a pioneer in her field. When she qualified as a surgeon in the early 1970s only 2% of her colleagues were female. She became the UK’s first ever female vascular surgeon. After a formidable operating career in Liverpool and London, during which she made many enduring friendships, she went on to become the UK’s first ever female professor of surgery.

Life in Her Hands is the remarkable life story of a truly trailblazing woman. Averil’s account shines light on a medical and societal world that has changed beyond measure, but which – as she shows through her experiences – still has a long way to go for the women finding their place within it.

“A great read. I am honoured to have worked with such a legend” Dr David Nott on Life in her Hands: The Inspiring Story of a Pioneering Female Surgeon
