Produktbeschreibung
This is the first comprehensive biography of 19th century physician, writer, feminist, progressive reformer, and lecturer Dr. Mary Jane Safford who led an extraordinarily adventurous life. Her uncanny ability to appear in the right places and times to experience and make true history was akin to Forrest Gump's similar but fictional talent. From the poverty of youth and through a series of adventures' leading to her becoming a European-trained, gynecologic surgeon, Dr. Safford rose to a fame larger than life. She spoke and wrote prolifically on travel, progressive reforms, racial equality and medicine. Among her associates were notable 19th century figures. Later in life, she became one of Florida's first trained women physicians and helped found a Florida community. Dr. Coachman's 10-year research odyssey has led to rediscovery of Dr. Safford's most intriguing life story. 2nd edition with larger type font than first edition.

Autorenporträt
Born in Evanston, Illinois, Elizabeth Grange Okulski Coachman lived outside Chicago before attending Moore College of Art and Rutgers University near Philadelphia. Following two years in Okinawa, she gained an MD at Temple University Medical School and pathology training with board certification in Florida. While working as the Tarpon Springs, Florida, hospital's Laboratory Medical Director, she served also on the University of South Florida Medical School's Clinical Faculty. She fills retirement with printmaking, landscape painting, and traveling with her husband Mike throughout the US and Canada. They live on a small, Hernando County, Florida, cattle ranch. Repeated requests for her reenacting Dr. Mary Safford for Tarpon Springs' Safford House Museum led to research that resulted in this book.
