Das Juliusspital. Ärztin in stürmischen Zeiten

The second part of the opulent family saga set in the 19th century: The women of the Winkelmann family fight for the right to help people as doctors. Würzburg at the end of the 19th century. Just like her grandmother Viviana Winkelmann, Henrike fights for women's right to a self-determined life – and for admission to medical school. Her desire to heal is so strong that she secretly works as a reserve nurse in the psychiatric hospital of Juliusspital, which is in turmoil due to the discovery of "X-rays" by Professor Röntgen. Her dream is to alleviate the suffering of the mentally ill as a psychiatrist and to study under the highly praised Professor Rieger at the hospital. However, when Henrike falls in love with a French medical student, her secrets come to light. Shortly thereafter, Würzburg is struck by tuberculosis, and suddenly Henrike's situation becomes a matter of life and death. Her dream of medicine and the abolition of the enrollment ban for women seem to drift further away. Bringing history to life is the great passion of twin sisters Claudia and Nadja Beinert: They have already co-written five historical novels. The exciting theme of "Women in Medicine" inspired them to create their grand family saga spanning several generations of female doctors and the Julius Hospital in Würzburg. "Doctor by Passion" was the first volume of the family saga and tells the story of Henrike's grandmother Viviana Winkelmann, who is ostracized by her own family.
