paperback. Zustand: Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, fresh attractive copy, fine condition and probably unused. BROWN, JASMINE. Twice as hard: the stories of Black women who fought to become physicians, from the Civil War to the 21st Century. Boston: Beacon Press, 2023, 1st printing number line ending with 1, xvi, 221pp., . No complete history of Black women physicians in the US exists, and what little mention is made of these women in existing histories is often insubstantial or altogether incorrect. In this work of extensive research, the author champions a new history, penning the long-erased stories of nine pioneering Black women physicians beginning in 1860, when a Black woman first entered medical school. The legacy of Black women physicians began with Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, who graduated from medical school only fourteen months after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, moved to Richmond, Virginia, and provided medical care for the newly freed slaves who had been neglected and exploited by the medical system. The author tells the stories of women such as Dr. Edith Irby Jones, the first African American to attend a previously white-only medical school in the Jim Crow South, where she was not allowed to eat lunch with her classmates or use the women's bathroom. Still, Dr. Irby Jones persisted and graduated from medical school, going on to directly inspire others - including Dr. Joycelyn Elders, who, after meeting Dr. Irby Jones, changed her career ambitions from becoming a Dillard's salesclerk to becoming a doctor. In 1993, President Bill Clinton appointed Dr. Elders as the US surgeon general, making her the first African American and second woman to hold this position. Here, the author tells the stories of these doctors from the perspective of a Black woman in medicine. Her journey as a medical student already has parallels to those of Black women who entered medicine generations before her. What she uncovers about these women's struggles, their need to work twice as hard and be twice as good, and their ultimate success serves as instruction and inspiration for new generations considering a career in medicine or science. - CONTENTS: Prologue: Set the record straight -- With determination and fearlessness (Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler) -- Doing surgery in the bedroom (Dr. May Chinn) -- Doing good in the community (Dr. Dorothy Celeste Boulding Ferebee) -- From her family forward (Dr. Lena Edwards) -- Finding fulfillment in giving back (Dr. Edith Irby Jones) -- You can't be what you can't see (Joycelyn Elders) -- Healthcare is a human right (Dr. Marilyn Hughes Gaston) -- "I will not be the last" (Dr. Claudia Thomas) -- Crusading for public health (Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey) -- Remember their stories.
