As I lover of Pioneer history, especially in terms of the women of the times, I found The Doctor Wore Petticoats a nice introductory to not only early medicine on the frontier, but to the bravery and fortitude a certain group of tenacious women showed in order to make their way in a man's world. Chris Enss details the lives of 12 different women who won against the odds and became qualified and sought after physicians in the Wild West. Accompanying these short vignettes are some wonderful black and white photos of each woman written about, and some interesting quotes taken from their own diaries and journals. At 125 pages this is just a short glimpse into the world of female doctors in the mid to late 1800s, and my only wish was that the book was a bit longer and offered more stories about each woman presented. Other than that I found this book very enjoyable and eye opening into a world most of us are unknown to. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
""No women need apply."" Western towns looking for a local doctor during the frontier era often concluded their advertisements in just that manner. Yet apply they did. And in small towns all over the West, highly trained women from medical colleges in the East took on the post of local doctor to great acclaim. In this new book, author Chris Enss offers a glimpse into the fascinating lives of ten of these amazing women. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
