In 2017, Dr. Suzanne Koven published an essay describing the challenges faced by women doctors, including her own personal struggle with "impostor syndrome" -- a long-held, secret belief that she was not smart enough or good enough to be a "real" doctor. Accessed nearly 300,000 times by readers around the world, Koven's "Letter to a Young Female Physician" has evolved into a work that reflects on her career in medicine, in which women still encounter sexism, pay inequity, and harassment. Koven tells engaging stories about her pregnancy during a grueling residency in the AIDS era; the illnesses of her son and parents during which her roles as a doctor, mother, and daughter converged; and the twilight of her career during the COVID-19 pandemic. Letter to a Young Female Physician offers an indelible eyewitness account from a doctor, mother, wife, daughter, teacher, and writer that will encourage readers to embrace their own imperfect selves -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Koven, Suzanne. 650 0 $a Women physicians $v Biography. 650 0 $a Physicians $x Attitudes. 650 0 $a Medicine $x Vocational guidance. 650 0 $a Physician and patient. 650 0 $a Sexism in medicine. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination in medicine. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064415.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210807010213.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064946.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210702010941.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210430010157.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210428010642.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=165566C0A7E711EB98937C0F4BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
