Celebrate Women’s History Month with Susan Wilson and her tales of the amazing Susan Dimock, one of America’s first female surgeons. Wilson has penned the first biography ever written about the doctor, Women and Children First: The Trailblazing Life of Susan Dimock, M.D. Dimock was raised in North Carolina but moved to Massachusetts to live with her abolitionist relatives and follow her dream of becoming a medical professional.
