Bold Women of Medicine
Speaker: Susan Latta, Author
Women Leading the Way, this year’s Gala theme, fits right
in with the title of Latta’s book, Bold Women of Medicine.
Her book tells of twenty-one courageous women and their
groundbreaking feats. Latta will give us background
information about these women, from the 1800s to the
present.
