Very Good. Great book! Clean pages, no writing or marks. No spine creases, mild shelf wear & small corner bend on grey cover. "Amazon: This is the autobiography of the first woman faculty member at Harvard Medical School; the first doctor specializing in occupational health in any country; and the person who coined the term "industrial hygienist". The stories she tells about occupational exposures in her time are ghastly, but what is more interesting is her connection to the progressive politics of her time (she was a socialist and pacifist and opposed America's entry into the First World War). Also interesting is her incredible longevity (she lived to be 101) and her effect on generations of health professionals, labor activists and feminists. She was teaching at Harvard in the 1890s, worked at Hull House with Jane Addams, inspired Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1930s, then lived long enough to sign a letter of protest against the Vietnam War in 1964. If you know an occupational health professional or union officer, and worry they will burn out in this current dark era, give them this book."
