The Feminine Touch: Women in Osteopathic Medicine

This book chronicles the early and important contributions women osteopathic physicians have made to osteopathic medicine. Through his research, author Thomas Quinn, DO, explores the careers of prominent women who have played a crucial role in the advancement of osteopathic medicine. This includes Jeanette Hubbard Bolles, DO, who founded the Bolles Institute of Osteopathy in 1897 and Josephine Peirce, DO, who founded the Osteopathic Women’s National Association. Learn about the challenges and triumphs of these early pioneers of osteopathic medicine--both as women studying and practicing in a male-dominated field, and as osteopathic practitioners struggling for compliance by and parity with the orthodox medical community.
