And with that, we move from #blackhistorymonth to #womenshistorymonth! Meet Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte, the first native american woman to complete a medical degree! . Dr. Picotte is from the Omaha tribe and returned to the reservation in 1889 to tend to her community. . She was widely trusted and tended to natives and white patients with tuberculosis, influenza, cholera, dysentery, among others. . Aside from being a trailblazer in her education, Dr. Picotte broke the norms of Victorian era women by continuing to practice medicine after getting married and having children. . Dr. Picotte was a woman ahead of her time and @jkxcomics is proud to pay tribute to this extraordinary woman! . . . #womeninscience #womeninstem #womenshistorymonth2019 #omahatribe #nativeamerican #susanlafleschepicotte #digitalart #illustration #science #scicomm #jkxcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/BufA0ZFhDIa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b9z3rnq6qibb -- source link
