More Details
Cora Montague and William Watkins, both from wealthy New York families, return from the First World War aching for more than their pampered lives now offer them. After working at the woman-run Endell Street military hospital in London during the war, Cora longs to pursue medical studies to become a doctor, while Bill wishes to study with a famous painter in Paris. They concoct a plan to pretend to be engaged so they can spend the summer studying and painting without their parents pressuring them to seek spouses or, in Bill's case, work with his stepfather in finance. At the end of the summer, however, they find they've fooled themselves as well as everyone else.
While a work of fiction, CORA'S SECRET ENGAGEMENT follows the real struggle of women to be taken seriously in the field of medicine, and the visionary woman philanthropist who made sure Johns Hopkins Medical School was open to women from its founding.
