«Las pioneras» is the historical novel by Gay Courter, published by Planeta in paperback (720 pages, in Spanish).
In early 20th-century New York, Hannah, a Russian Jewish immigrant, is a midwife who attends to women with intimate problems that the medicine of the era ignores. Her practice attracts Greenwich Village intellectuals. When her husband joins the Russian Revolution, she discovers independence and a love that clashes with her origins, faith, and social class.
Part of the Bestseller Mundial collection, number 189. Translated by Enric Tremps from the original English The midwife's advice.
For readers of historical fiction interested in female emancipation and New York City at the beginning of the 20th century.
Gay Courter is an American author. Her first non-fiction work, The Beansprout Book (1973), introduced beansprouts to American supermarkets and the general public. She eventually became known as "The Pied Piper of sprouting." Her works have been translated into several languages, including French, Spanish, and Swedish. Courter is credited with being one of the first female writers to write a published novel on a word processor.
