| Sumario: | An invaluable reference work chronicling the lives of over 200 women who received medical degrees in the United States before the Civil War. This reference work contains brief biographical articles for over two hundred women, most of them little known, who graduated from schools of medicine in the United States before the Civil War. The volume includes an introductory essay examining the social and religious backgrounds of the women graduates, as well as their motivations for becoming physicians and their varying degrees of success as practitioners. The biographical entries are supplemented by a chronological table of female medical graduates and a geographical table indicating the places in which they practiced. |
