The Secret Surgeon: The Story of Dr. James Barry

Margaret Ann Bulkley faked her death at fifteen and lived fifty years as the legendary

Dr. James Barry. She became a top British surgeon, performing the first

successful C-section where both mother and child survived. She fought duels, clashed with Florence

Nightingale, and revolutionized military medicine through better sanitation and nutrition. Nobody questioned the

angry little doctor who saved thousands, until the truth was discovered after her death.

Margaret proved that our limitations are imaginary. One person's determination exposed how arbitrary

those barriers really are.
