Medical Discourses by Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler is a groundbreaking work by the first African American woman to earn a medical degree in the United States. First published in 1883, the book provides insight into Crumpler's experiences as a physician, particularly her work serving communities during and after the Civil War. Combining medical knowledge with practical advice, she addresses topics such as maternal and child health, nutrition, and disease prevention, often emphasizing the importance of compassion in caregiving.
