摘要:The author of this book is one of the best known of the many distinquished women physicians of the United States-indeed one might say of the world, since Dr. Lovejoy's professional activities have been both national and international. She has practiced medicine, administered a public health department, and worked with the American Red Cross both at home and abroad. Most notable, however, has been her service as Director from 1919 of the American Women's Hospitals, an international service of the American Medical Women's Association. She has been President of the Medical Women's International Association as well as of the American Medical Women's Association. She hasreceived two honorary degrees and many decorations from France, Greece, Jerusalem, and Yugoslavia. Dr. Lovejoy is the author of three other books. Her extensive acquaintance among women physicians is surpassed only by the fond regard in which she is held by all who know her. No greater authority could have been found to write of the Women Doctors of the World.
