Inspired by a chance exchange with great-great-grandaughter of Nettie Bolles, the first woman to graduate from an osteopathic medical school, Janice Blumer DO, FAAO committed to writing the book exploring the life and work of Bolles and other women pioneers in the field of osteopathic medicine. In "Strong Medicine", Blumer explores the experiences and achievements of six women who persevered in a predominantly male profession at a time defined by Puritan values. She describes their historical importance as osteopathic students, physicians, researchers, educators, and authors, as well as the personal and professional challenges they overcame as they paved the way for today's students and practitioners of osteopathic medicine.
In 1892, Andrew Taylor Still did the unimaginable when he accepted women and men equally in his newly opened American School of Osteopathy. Thomas Quinn, DO, showcases some of the valiant women who rose above adversity to become osteopathic doctors in those early years, and includes prominent women osteopathic physicians up to the present time. The stories of their fight against the inequality of the sexes in medicine are intertwined with the struggles of osteopathy to be accepted as a valid scientific practice, illuminating the innovative and determined individuals who helped osteopathic medicine develop into the flourishing profession it is today.
