SUMMARY:The Unlocked Path An Examination and Celebration of Family History: Presentation by Janis Daly
DESCRIPTION:.The Unlocked Path An Examination and Celebration of Family 
 History: How the secrets of our past can surprise\, delight\, educate\, and 
 inspire the writing of a novel.\n\nPresentation by Janis Daly\n\nJanis Daly 
 is the author of "The Unlocked Path"\, which takes place in Philadelphia in 
 the late 1890s. \n\nMeet a “New Woman” of the 20th century: educated\, 
 career-minded\, independent Eliza Pearson Edwards. In 1897 Philadelphia\, 
 after witnessing her aunt's suicide\, Eliza rejects her mother’s wishes 
 for a society debut\, and at a time when five percent of doctors are 
 female\, she enters a woman’s medical college. With the support of a 
 circle of women and driven by a determination to conquer curriculum 
 demands\, battle sexism\, and overcome doubts\, Eliza charts her new life 
 path. Combining science and sympathy\, she triumphs to heal others and 
 herself.\n\nOrganic Chemistry may slay her\, if the strain of endless 
 study\, odoriferous labs\, and gruesome surgeries don’t claim her first. 
 As a young intern\, she summons a forthright confidence asserting her 
 abilities to those mistrustful of a woman doctor. Through her work with 
 poverty-stricken patients\, she defines her version of suffrage work to 
 champion women’s rights for and beyond the right to vote. Love is found\, 
 love is lost. During a visit to the fairy-tale-like city of Newport\, a new 
 relationship may fulfill her desires. When global events devolve into chaos 
 with the 1918 influenza pandemic and a world war\, Eliza renews her vow to 
 help and heal.
