Zustand: VERY GOOD. First printing. A biography covering Dr. Connie Guion's early life, growing up in North Carolina near Lincolnton, her attendance at Wellesley, and as a professor at Vassar and Sweet Briar. She earned her M.D. from Cornell in 1917, graduating first in her class, with an internship and residency at the ornell division at Bellevue, where - among other things - she successfully rebelled against the 24 hour shifts and founded a clinic for affordable care. To cite just a few of the firsts in her career, she was the first woman in the U.S. to be made a professor of clinical medicine; the first woman to become a member of the medical board of the New York Hospital; and the first living female doctor in the U.S. to have a hospital building named in her honor. The biography ends in 1919, when Guion was 37, though she would practice medicine until her death at 88, becoming known as 'the dean of women doctors.' Earlier in her career, starting 1908 until she left 5 years later to attend medical school, Guion was a chemistry professor at Sweet Briar College (she is also credited with founding the school bookstore) and at the time this book was published the Connie Guion Science Building was under construction at Sweet Briar.
