Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 32 to 38.
In 1812 a young man called James Barry finished his studies in medicine at Edinburgh
University. After graduating he moved to London where he studied surgery at Guy’s Hospital.
After that the popular young doctor joined the army and over the next forty years had a brilliant
career as an army medical officer, working in many far-off countries and fighting successfully
for improved conditions in hospitals. It was a remarkable career - made even more remarkable
by the discovery upon his death that he was in fact a she, James Barry was a woman.
No one was more surprised at this discovery than her many friends and colleagues. It was true
that throughout her life people had remarked upon her small size, slight build and smooth pale
face. One officer had even objected to her appointment as a medical assistant because he could
not believe that Barry was old enough to have graduated in medicine. But no one had ever
seriously suggested that Barry was anything other than a man.
By all accounts Barry was a pleasant and good-humoured person with high cheekbones, reddish
hair, a long nose and large eyes. She was well-liked by her patients and had a reputation for
great speed in surgery - an important quality at a time when operations were performed without
anaesthetic. She was also quick tempered. When she was working in army hospitals and prisons
overseas, the terrible conditions often made her very angry. She fought hard against injustice
and cruelty and her temper sometimes got her into trouble with the authority. After a long career
overseas, she returned to London where she died in 1865. While the undertaker’s assistant was
preparing her body for burial, she discovered that James Barry was a woman.
So why did James Barry deceive people for so long? At that time a woman could not study
medicine, work as a doctor or join the army. Perhaps Barry had always wante to do these
things and pretending to be a man was the only way to make it possible. Perhaps she was going
to tell the truth one day, but didn’t because she was enjoying her life as a man too much.
Whatever the reason, Barry's deception was successful. By the time it was discovered that she
had been the first woman in Britain to qualify as a doctor, it was too late for the authorities to do
anything about it.

A. Gender discrimination among doctors in London
B. James Barry pretended to be a man to become a doctor
