Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, this chapter book series is about women who stood up, spoke up, and rose up against the odds!
In this chapter book biography by bestselling author and physician Sayantani DasGupta, readers learn about the amazing life of Virginia Apgar—and how she persisted. There weren't many women who tried to become doctors when Virginia Apgar went to medical school—but she didn't let that stop her. After a professor discouraged her from becoming a surgeon, she became an anesthesiologist instead and created the famous Apgar test to check the health of newborn babies. It's a test that's still used in hospitals across the world today!
Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in Virginia Apgar's footsteps and make a difference! A perfect choice for kids who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring women into their curriculum.
