    Women doctors: medical pioneers of the West
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 24, 2014*

Today it is easy to take for granted a woman's freedom to choose a career. In this book, however, Enss brings to our attention the struggle of women doctors to gain the acceptance of prospective patients as well as that of their male colleagues.For all of the women profiled in this book, medicine is not merely a job,but a vocation they embrace with tenacity and passion.  The personal and professional challenges they face seem to make them stronger.  Some have to leave there homes and families in order to find a location where male doctors were few or simply not available. Others married, only to loose there spouses because of the time and dedication the practice of medicine required, especially in the expanding West.I would recommend this book to all readers, but especially to young women contemplating the a future in medicine.  The book will inspire not only those desiring to be doctors, but any profession that requires a life of dedication and service to others.

    Basic Women's History
  

*by P***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 18, 2017*

This book is a good start if you are researching the way women lived during pioneer days. But the author doesn't give you much personal detail about these women. Enss just documents who they were and where they practiced. I really wish they had gone further and dug up some journals or family stories about these heroic women who went against the grain. A lot of them were women who had not planned to travel West, but once they completed medical school, they could not practice in Eastern cities and towns. So they had to go to a more dangerous and less conventional place where miners, cowboys, outlaws, soldiers, and other adventurous types had no other recourse if they wanted to get bandaged up.

    Interesting History!
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2014*

The book had interesting history of a variety of women doctors of the west.  It was interesting to see that the women did gain acceptance from the communities that they chose to practice in.  Doctors were scarce in the west.  The women doctors weren't prefered.  As with any time a woman breaks into a mostly male field, they had to work harder to prove themselves to both the patients and other doctors that might be in the community.  The research was well done.  It would have been a little more interesting if there were more firsthand personal accounts.  That would have made the book considerably more expensive.  There is enough information on each of the doctors mentioned in the book that follow up research on a particular person would be realatively easy to do.
