Doctor Nellie

This is a really wonderful book. Heart wrenching stories from her youth in the late 1800's to funny anecdotes of medical school and life as a country doctor.

A California Girl

Any Californian blessed with daughters will want to read them/give them (according to whether they're nine or fifteen)a work which roots autonomous, adventurous women on both sides of the Sierra(s). Anyone driving to ski at Mammouth can animate the boredom (through Independence, etc.) with this work. And as for a genteel assault on S.F. (the "City") by a pioneer woman medical student, this will steel your daughter for the scalpel and for any derision that may still hover in surgical theaters and dissection labs.
