Justina Ford: Medical Pioneer

by Joyce B. Lohse

As the first African American female doctor in Colorado, Justina Ford faced many challenges when she arrived in Denver in 1902. Through hard work and perseverance, she not only established herself as an outstanding physician, but delivered over 7,000 babies during the next half century. This award-winning book was the first title in the "Now You Know Bio" series from Filter Press. As with other books in the series, this biography is appropriate for young readers, and appealing to history buffs of all ages.
