Against the Odds

New Zealand's first women doctors

About this book

Discover the untold stories of New Zealand's pioneering women doctors who defied the odds.

In 2025, Otago Medical School celebrates 150 years, with women comprising half the graduates. Yet, in 1891, Emily Seideberg's entrance was uncertain due to active hostility. This book unveils the journeys of women from the 1880s to 1967, who overcame indifference and chauvinism to become New Zealand's first female physicians.

Their remarkable stories highlight contributions to research, medical breakthroughs, and enhanced patient care. If you are interested in

  • Women's struggles and triumphs

then buy now to honor these trailblazers and their enduring impact.
