This paper investigates the representation of women physicians in two novels - an American novel titled Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’s Doctor Zay (1882), and a British novel, Dr. Margaret Todd’s Mona Maclean, Medical Student (1892). While also looking at differences these individual novels have, this paper aims to look at how these transatlantic nineteenth century novels have common threads of linking women doctors with the followings: the constant referral to “womanliness,” the question of class affiliations, marriage, and medical modernity. While the two doctor novels end with the conventional marriage plot, these novels fundamentally questioned the assumption that women doctors could only cure women and children. These texts also tried to bend existing gender roles and portrayed women doctors who were deemed as “womanly.”
Abstract
This paper investigates the representation of women physicians in two novels - an American novel titled Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’s Doctor Zay (1882), and a British novel, Dr. Margaret Todd’s Mona Maclean, Medical Student (1892). While also looking at differences these individual novels have, this paper aims to look at how these transatlantic nineteenth century novels have common threads of linking women doctors with the followings: the constant referral to “womanliness,” the question of class affiliations, marriage, and medical modernity. While the two doctor novels end with the conventional marriage plot, these novels fundamentally questioned the assumption that women doctors could only cure women and children. These texts also tried to bend existing gender roles and portrayed women doctors who were deemed as “womanly.”
