474 pages, plus 32 pages of Blackwood publications. Seventh edition. The boards are stained, the spine strip also faded; the front hinge cracked and the front end paper missing; up to page 14 the pages are bumped at the edges. It's not a pretty copy, but solid and unmarked. "Mona Maclean, Medical Student (1892) was the debut novel of Scottish author and medical practitioner Margaret Todd. It was published under the male pseudonym Graham Travers....The novel's key themes include women's education and work, female friendships, and marriage. Drawing on Todd's own experiences, the story explores women's roles in the medical profession. Charles Ferrall and Anna Jackson suggest that Mona's story is "largely about the negotiation of class" rather than romance. Mona's middle-class status becomes temporarily strained not only by her choice to pursue a medical vocation, but also by her decision to live with her poor relations" (wikipedia)
