Description
by Adele Comandini (Author)
""Doctor Kate, Angel On Snowshoes: The Story Of Kate Pelham Newcomb"" is a biography written by Adele Comandini. The book tells the inspiring story of Kate Pelham Newcomb, a pioneering female doctor who dedicated her life to serving the people of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. Born in 1865, Kate grew up in a wealthy family and received a privileged education. However, she was determined to use her knowledge and skills to help others, and in 1899 she enrolled in medical school at the age of 34. Despite facing discrimination and challenges as a female doctor, Kate graduated with honors and set up a practice in the Adirondack Mountains, where she became known as the ""Angel on Snowshoes"" for her tireless efforts to reach patients in remote areas during the harsh winter months. In addition to her medical work, Kate was also a passionate advocate for women's rights and social justice, and she used her platform to speak out against issues such as child labor and poverty. She also played a key role in establishing the first hospital in the Adirondack region. Through extensive research and first-hand accounts, Comandini brings Kate's remarkable story to life, highlighting her courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication to serving others. ""Doctor Kate, Angel On Snowshoes"" is a tribute to a true trailblazer who made a lasting impact on her community and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
