The Complex Life of a Woman Doctor – Medicine and Motherhood

Available through Amazon.com and Xlibris.

This intriguing memoir relates Dr. Schrager’s struggle to become a doctor at a time when women physicians were an anomaly, facing harassment and discrimination. She describes how the Great Depression and World War II disrupted her early life and how the McCarthy Unamerican Activities Committee, the Korean War and her concern for equitable health care affected her later life and medical career.

Dr. Schrager covers the adventures and mishaps of medical school, internship, private practice and her training of young doctors, as well as the domestic challenges associated with maintaining a successful marriage and raising a family. She discusses some of the differences, good and bad, between how medicine is practiced today and how it was practiced over the past fifty years.

"The Complex Life of a Woman Doctor" was displayed at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany in October 2008, and Dr. Schrager appeared at the 2007 Virginia Festival of the Book in a panel discussion on memoirs.
