Doctor Wore Petticoats: Women Physicians of the Old West

A New York Times Bestseller! "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.

In this new book, author Chris Enss offers a glimpse into the fascinating lives of ten of these amazing women.
