The Cottonwool Doctor

Written by Michelle Matthews
Illustrated by Jean de Wet

Margaret was clever and curious. Margaret had big dreams. But 200 years ago, a girl could not become a doctor. So she cut off her hair and she put on a boy’s clothes. From then on, no one knew that Margaret was a girl. She became James Barry.
