Margaret Anne Bulkley (1789-1865), an Irish woman, broke the rules of Georgian society to become Dr James Barry, Inspector General of Hospitals, army surgeon and reformer. She performed the first successful caesarean delivery in the British Empire. A medical pioneer and respected surgeon, her secret was only revealed after her death. Du Preez & Dronfield's careful research provides insight into her life and career at the Cape.
