Entertaining biography of Dr. Susan Anderson, a country physician in the Rockies of Colorado at the turn of the last century. Written in the style of a novel. The author makes an interesting point that the 1880's (the time in which Doc Susie trained) preceded the budding age of technology in medicine, and it was not unusual for a woman to be accepted in a career that, in the Victorian era, entailed a lot of hard,tedious, and dirty work.
