It seemed a lot easier on women doctors out West, especially in the areas known for their healing properties, at least from the research I've done on the doctors in Colorado. <br /><br />I am so glad the information was useful. I also would love to read the 'updated' book on your women doctor's journey.

It came to me, with all my talk about these women, perhaps folks would like to know a bit about what their choices might have been, what they may have studied. I'm very appreciative of your taking the time to read and comment. Enjoy the 'history' lessons in the links. I found them fascinating.

To them, I'm sure it seemed monumental...but to doctors today? They'd probably scoff at the scant training. I admire all these women. It must have been difficult. Probably families objected.

Guess you could say I'm a 'closet' doctor. LOL.<br /><br />When it came to education back then, I'm surprised people survived treatment back then. Still, we are a tough lot.
