In mid-century America, the virus that strikes fear among everyone is polio, and scientists worldwide are racing to find a vaccine. Lynn Cullen's "The Woman with the Cure" is based on one true story from this scientific race: the life and work of Dorothy Horstmann, who works alongside the world's greatest minds to find a way to stop this deadly disease. Dorothy makes the game-changing discovery that polio is present in the bloodstream. Still, despite her talent and dedication, she struggles to be taken seriously in the male-dominated scientific world. When she is asked to verify a competitor's work, Dorothy must decide if she is willing to be left in the shadows if it means finding a cure.
