Today is International Women’s Day (https://buff.ly/2l7t2x1), so we thought we would reshare one of our favourite stories from Anecdotally Speaking about an inspirational woman. That woman is Dr Alice Stewart, a renowned physician who found a correlation between pregnant women receiving x-rays and increases in childhood cancer fatalities.

Mark tells the story, having first heard it in Margaret Heffernan’s Ted Talk, Dare to Disagree, which you can watch here: https://buff.ly/2P0zTYd
