THE WOMAN WITH THE CURE
Everyone knows Sabin and Salk created the polio vaccine, but without the work of Dr. Dorothy Horstmann, there never would have been a vaccine in the first place. So huge applause to The Woman With the Cure for bringing Dorothy’s brilliant work to the forefront–and for reminding us that women have always been in science–despite those who would pretend otherwise.”
–Bonnie Garmus, New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry
Critical Acclaim - The Woman with the Cure
“Cullen paints a richly layered portrait of this dedicated and determined doctor, set against a background of midcentury postwar America. There are heartbreaking scenes of young polio patients, poignant accounts of the personal cost paid by those engaged in the search for a cure, and clinical descriptions of the disease, the treatments used, and the experiments conducted in the quest for a cure. … A powerful blend of biography and imagination with a main character whom readers won’t soon forget.”
Library Journal
“Cullen’s portrait of the steadfast, self-sacrificing Dorothy hits home and is made more stirring by the vivid depictions of young polio patients. This author is writing at the top of her game.”
