- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph is the first to consider the historical position of women in surgery. It is 125,000 words, pp. 305, and the product of over a decade of research. It is based on extensive primary resources, including thousands of patient records, which have never been explored before. Each of the five chapters is equivalent to a journal article. The argument represents a major and substantial contribution to a number of underexplored areas, including the history of surgery, women's place in medicine, the doctor-patient relationship, and the social history of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

- Additional information
- This book draws and builds on two articles that were submitted to REF 2014, which have been amalgamated into chapter 1. The material was revised, and considerably expanded, both in scope and historical time, taking in another twenty years of general surgical practise and development. It is the shortest chapter in the book and because less than half is reworked material, constitutes c. 6.5% of the pp. 305 whole. The rest of the material in the book (introduction, 4 chapters, and a conclusion) has not previously been submitted for research assessment.
