This is an eye-opening view of how women came to be doctors. It seems the women didn't just have to deal with the prejudice of the men physicians and the general population. More often than not, these women divorced in order to follow their calling. Husbands did not easily accept working wives at this time in America.
The vignettes were lean but pithy; the photos added so much to the book. I cannot believe, with so many obstacles, that so many women entered the medical field. Women owe them a debt of gratitude for their dedication to their patients and their medical craft.
