The Lady is a Doctor — Beth Myers

DOCTOR ENID

Dr. Enid Barnes, daughter of a wealthy New York surgeon, came to Chesterton because she wanted to realize her dream of becoming a real “horse and buggy doctor,” helping humanity with her heart as well as her skill.

But Enid found the townspeople resented her as a woman. Young, attractive Dr. Tom Jackson, the town's other doctor, told her she was just amusing herself playing doctor until she married Park Avenue style.

Then Enid was plunged into a sensational court trial. Her reputation as a physician at stake, she found an unexpected ally in a brilliant lawyer who came to her defense.

Here is the story of a warm and gifted girl who, in her great ordeal, learned a new and deeper meaning of life for herself as a doctor -- and as a woman.
