(3) YA To accomplish her dream of becoming a doctor in fourteenth-century Bologna, Alessandra Giliani must escape her domineering stepmother, disguise herself as a boy, and survive in a dangerous academic world controlled by men. With careful attention to the details of the time period, Quick weaves a romantic and tragic story of the world's first female anatomist. An author's note helps separate fact from fiction.
