American Women Pharmacists Contributions to the Profession

This unique book consolidates information from a wide variety of sources into a single reference on women in pharmacy. Beginning with the early colonial days and extending to the present, this volume examines the role of women in pharmacy. This extensively referenced book illustrates the many (often heretofore untold) accomplishments of these women, compares women pharmacists with other women of their time, and analyzes the factors that influenced their roles. American Women Pharmacists: Contributions to the Profession discusses the increasing presence of these women in their field and the important roles they played. Includes tables that provide easy access to information on women in relation to pharmacy organizations and pharmacy education. Choice Magazine says, "Anyone who practices or teaches pharmacy will be inspired. . . . This well-documented book is filled with anecdotes and quotes, mostly from the past century, tying the progress of women in pharmacy to their social status up through the decades. Each chapter describes access to education for women, the support offered by newly formed organizations, and growing opportunities as pharmacy becomes a partner with medicine in hospitals, industry, and the community."Henderson, Metta Lou is the author of 'American Women Pharmacists Contributions to the Profession' with ISBN 9780789010919 and ISBN 0789010917.
