Women in White Coats: How the First Women Doctors Changed the World of Medicine by Olivia Campbell

informative inspiring medium-paced

4.0

I learned so much from this book and grew an immense respect for the first women doctors. They truly changed the entire medical field and modernized it. I really enjoyed each woman’s story and how the author intertwined them. I also read the book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez, which goes over how data often forgets to involve women and their experiences. So many parts of medicine do not have good research or diagnosis for women still today. However the advancements we do have are in many thanks to these first women doctors leading the way in care for women’s bodies.
