I had hardly considered the flip side of that coin: that it also meant looking a patient's family in the eye and telling them to say their last goodbyes.

“Woman is equal to man, my dearest brother. ‘There is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus,’” she quoted fiercely. “One!”
He stepped back to give her space, his gaze perusing over her face. “As far as I recall that story, woman was formed from a rib of man,” he sneered. “Don’t sound like equality to me.”
“And you were formed from a handful of dirt,” she snapped back. “Did it never occur to you that women crave more in life than raising children, keeping house, and darning their husbands’ holey socks? That they have just as much right to make something out of their lives as men do?”
“Heavens!” Joe rolled his eyes. “So what? The sun’s supposed to revolve around the earth from now on, huh?”
“Why shouldn’t women be equal to men?” Katherine shot him a defiant look. “Why not give us the right to vote, too? Do you really think you’re so much smarter than us?” She let out an incensed snort. “Mr. O’Donegan can hardly write his name, but in a few years he’ll be allowed to vote, while I had excellent schooling in Boston and won’t be permitted to do so. Where is the justice in that? Just because I’m a woman?”
She watched one corner of Joe’s mouth lift into a smug smirk, the sight fanning her anger all the more.
“The truth is, women are capable of judging matters just as clearly and soundly as men—perhaps even better,” she insisted with grim conviction. “I dare say we could succeed in any profession hitherto reserved for men alone. We work as hard as you do and bear just as much responsibility, so why should we not become doctors, lawyers, or judges as well?” She raised her chin combatively and fixed him with a challenging look. “No, I believe you men deny us women equal rights for one reason only: because you’re afraid we can do it far better than you!”
Joe snorted, amused, and studied her through narrowed eyes.
“So what you’re saying is ya think ya can drive cattle just as well as Tom, Luis—or me?” he jeered, placing his hands on his hips, cocky as ever.
“With a little practice, I sure can.”
“Ridin’ sidesaddle—in that posh ridin’ habit of yours?”
For a moment, Katherine held her breath as realization hit her.
No, riding sidesaddle wouldn’t do, of course.
She would have to take to riding astride for working cattle, even though the idea of sitting a horse with her legs apart shocked her to her very core. But no matter how shameless it struck her, she would have to take the risk if she wanted to succeed.
“I’m sure I can find something more suitable to wear.”
He cocked his head to the side, a provocative glint in his eyes. “More suitable how? Pants and chaps like a man?”
The very notion made her head spin. But there was no way back now. “Why not?”
