Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

Description for DR. QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN by Teresa Warfield:

Before she was a doctor, she was a woman ahead of her time.

Young Michaela Quinn was determined to become a doctor but in her hometown of Boston, she faced many obstacles. While her physician father supported her endeavors, her mother pressured her to marry. Most proper Bostonians thought medicine was man's work--and made sure Michaela knew it. Not even her beau thought she could handle a career and a family. But Michaela's perseverance would fuel her dreams throughout her childhood and during her difficult years in medical school. One day they would even lead her to the untamed frontier of Colorado...

This is the story of how Michaela defied convention to become one of the nation's first women doctors.
