Connie Ford’s book is a reminder of the great social changes that have taken place since Aleen Cust was born in 1868. When Aleen Cust entered the New Veterinary College, Edinburgh in 1895, and was later refused permission to sit the examinations of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, no British woman had the vote.

Now, a new generation of veterinarians, will find this account of the life and times of a truly remarkable woman a revelation.
