About this ebook
"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. And in small towns all over the west, highly trained women from medical colleges in the East took on the post of local doctor to great acclaim.

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