- Summary:
- Quinn (Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine) examines the careers of women who rose to prominence in the osteopathic field after graduating from the American School of Osteopathy during the school's early years. The book reveals how women made inroads into the traditionally male-dominated medical profession while helping osteopathy gain acceptance as a professional practice. In addition to chronological coverage from 1895 to the present, the book touches on the roles of women in osteopathic research, women osteopathic physicians in the uniformed services, and osteopathic nurses. A glossary of terms from the profession is included. The book lacks a subject index. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
