Las pioneras is a novel by Gay Courter that tells the story of Hannah, a Jewish immigrant of Russian origin who works as a midwife in New York at the beginning of the 20th century. Through her work, Hannah meets women who raise intimate problems that could not be exposed to the gynecologists of the time. Her reputation grows and her office is filled with intellectuals from Greenwich Village, who transmit new revolutionary ideas to her. When her husband decides to return to Russia to participate in the Revolution, Hannah discovers a new independence and a latent love that had remained hidden for a long time. It is the beginning of a new life and love for a man from whom everything separates her: her origins, faith, social class and marriage.
Gay Courter is an American author. Her first non-fiction work, The Beansprout Book (1973), introduced beansprouts to American supermarkets and the general public. She eventually became known as "The Pied Piper of sprouting." Her works have been translated into several languages, including French, Spanish, and Swedish. Courter is credited with being one of the first female writers to write a published novel on a word processor.
