When Mollie stepped off the train in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1890,
she knew she had to start a new life. She'd left her husband and
his medical practice behind in Iowa, and with only a few hundred
dollars in her pocket and a great deal of pride, she set out to
find a new position as a physician. She was offered a job as a
doctor to the miners in Bannack, Montana, and thus began her epic
adventures as a pioneer doctor, a suffragette, and a crusader for
public health reform in the Rocky Mountain West.
Pioneer Doctor: The Story of a Woman's Work is the true story of
Dr. Mary (Mollie) Babcock Atwater, a medicine woman who found
freedom and opportunity in the wide-open spaces of America's
frontier west. This remarkable tale has been creatively retold here
by her granddaughter, award-winning author Mari Grana. Blending
information from historical records as well as interviews with
family and friends, the author has reconstructed Mollie's steps
into a dramatic narrative that brings to life the doctor's
struggles, her accomplishments, and the times in which she
lived.
Beautifully written and thoroughly researched, this is not just the
biography of a fascinating woman. It is also the story of an era
when daring women ventured forth and changed history for the rest
of us.
