Abstract: "On March 14, 1889, Susan La Flesche Picotte received her medical degree, becoming the first Native American doctor in U.S. history--thirty-one years before women could vote and thirty-five years before Indians could become citizens in their own country. By age twenty-six, this fragile but indomitable Native woman acquired 1,244 patients scattered across 1,350 square miles of rolling countryside with few roads. They were often desperately poor and sick with tuberculosis, small pox, measles, and influenza. She was their last hope and effectively became the chief of her entrenched patriarchal tribe, crashing through walls of ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice. A Warrior of the People is the moving biography of Susan La Flesche Picotte's inspirational life and dedication to public health, and it will finally shine a light on her numerous accomplishments that improved the lot of her people."--Back Cover
