The Making of a Woman Surgeon

I read this because I am a female pre-med student wanting to go into surgery. Dr. Morgan recounts the struggles she had to go through to be a woman in field dominated by men. No matter how tough it got, she stuck with it. This book is inspiring to me as a woman, fascinating to me as a pre-med student, and entertaining to me as a book lover. Dr. Morgan begins from her undergraduate days and goes through medical school, internship, residency, and then ends with her practice. She describes surgical procedures in detail, but not in a way that people don't understand. She also shares views on co-workers and patients. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in surgery as a career or even just has an interest in it!

I read this book for a book report and really got into the plot line. It is a fantastic story about a young women's struggle in a man's world. It was fascinating and enthralling. A great book for people of all ages.
