Product Description
by Maxine Susman (Author)
In a series of poems, Maxine Susman tells of her mother's journey toward a rewarding career as a doctor. A young Jewish girl from Brooklyn, the daughter of Russian immigrants, she became a student at the world's first medical school for women, which she attended during the Great Depression. The poems in My Mother's Medicine chart one person's story even as they contribute to the larger story of women's history in our country.
