No Job for a Lady: The Autobiography of M. Phyllis Lose, V. M. D.

This is a fantastic book for horse lovers anywhere. Or even any type of animal enthusiastics,this is the book for u!

I liked this book because it was written in a way that not only got me interested in horses and veternarian medicine but it also gave me pride for what women have accomplished and built my self confidence. The book followed the time line of the authors life, so it was easy to follow, it also had humor in it. I would recomend this book to any animal lover or girl that has a dream of being a Veternarian, because this book makes anything seem possible.

Any animal lover will like this book. But this book is not just for animal enthusiats. The obstacles the author overcomes to become the first lady veterinarian in America is astonishing. She became highly successful and had people seeking her out because of her advanced study of surgery on horses who previously would have had to have been put down. This book is well-written and very funny. Anyone who likes James Herriott will definetly enjoy this book.

I lost this book several years ago in a house fire. Nonetheless, I often think about the delightful escapades and endearing anecdotes. Phyllis Lose's intelligence, heart, courage, and sense of humor come through loud and clear. Her story of going to Veterinary School at a time when women vets were few and far between is an inspiration. Having this book out of print is a shame. This is a must read for any young person who loves animals (or anyone else needing to break down barriers)
