how Sara Josephine Baker saved the lives of America's children
Kulling, Monica
A picture book biography of Sara Josephine Baker who became a doctor when most medical schools were closed to women. After graduating in 1898, she worked for the New York Public Health Department in neighborhoods of poor immigrant families where she treated their babies and children.
A biography of the doctor who, along with other achievements, was among the first to act on the idea that preventative medicine and health care for children is a function of government.
