Don’t Know Much About Book Discussion
Wednesday, May 13 | 11am | Lovell Room
Join our next “Don’t Know Much About” book discussion of The Women with the Cure by Lynn Cullen, a novel based on the true story of Dorothy Horstmann, a key player in the development of the polio vaccine. Despite humble beginnings, challenges to obtaining her education, underfunding for her research, and great personal sacrifice, Horstmann dedicated her life to the discovery that (contrary to the science of the time) polio travels through the blood to the nervous system. Horstmann was the first woman appointed as a professor at Yale School of Medicine.
Copies available at the Checkout Desk.
