The opening illustration of a girl seated on an examination table, looking relaxed, alert, and curious as she awaits her doctor's entrance, is indicative of the uniquely engaging approach employed throughout Women in Medicine. Our young, self-possessed protagonist is soon eagerly asking many a question of her female physician and excitedly soaking up the answers, hungry for more. Those answers, while accessibly concise, are nevertheless richly detailed and highly informative. We meet numerous historical figures (women all) and learn of the remarkable contributions they made in developing medical treatments, surgical methods, and cures that have helped countless people. Along the way, we encounter a good deal of medical science, concepts, and nomenclature. The heart of Women in Medicine resides in the confidence, curiosity and enthusiasm this fine book instills in its readers and the joy of discovery that comes from asking probing questions and finding the fascinating answers!
