Synopsis

WESTERN WRITERS OF AMERICA SPUR AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST WESTERN HISTORICAL NONFICTION

WOMEN WRITING THE WEST WILLA AWARD FINALIST

"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 amazing women, including the first female surgeon of Texas, the first female doctor to be convicted of manslaughter in an abortion-related maternal death, and the first woman physician to serve on a State Board of Health.
