Pioneer Doctor: The Story of a Woman's Work PDF
This is the story of one woman's persistence and success against social norms that limited women's role in society in the western US during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Not only was this woman a doctor when there were very few women doctors, she also participated in the womens' suffrage movement in Montana and lived through many social changes in that state.By Jeri L. Morgan
As the only doctor in a frontier mining town she saw many hard situations and some of the most poignant stories are about her attempts to help and care for the town prostitutes. When the mining boom died in that area, she moved to Helena to open another medical practice and there she joined the sufferage movement.
The book is written in a very readable narrative style and includes information from her personal records and interviews with personal friends and family.
The beginning of this book is simply wonderful. Informative, intriguing, and well written. Sadly, the book then turns into a guide of the suffragette movement. While I believe that women such as Dr. Babcock paved the way for the rewards the women of today (such as myself) have, I didn't want a book on women's lib. I wanted a book on the trials of becoming a doctor, the way medical issues were treated, what medicines were used, all of this in her life time. The first and middle of the book did so and was building up to a superb ending until........By Sharon K. Holdcraft
If you are looking for a true medical journal from one of the first female doctors this only partially fills the bill.
