I can do this!Elinor rolled up her sleeves. She was smart enough. She was strong enough.
A 2025 Notable Social Studies Trade Book Winner
When Elinor McGrath decided she wanted to be a veterinarian, the world told her no. It was 1907, and that job was not considered suitable for women. Even after she was accepted into veterinary school, the 137 male students in her class made it clear she was not welcome. Yet despite constant criticism, Elinor persevered. She could see that the future was changing and was determined to show the world of veterinary medicine that accepting women wasn't the only change the profession needed.
Written by a small-animal veterinarian, Elinor McGrath, Pet Doctortells the true story of the first woman veterinarian in the US. Backmatter highlights Elinor's career as well as other pioneering women vets from around the world.
