Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
Taken from "Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Swiss Psychiatrist" Elisabeth continued to deal with death and dying after she moved to the University of Chicago in 1965. Several students training to be ministers and priests asked her to give workshops. They felt ill-prepared to counsel dying people. The weekly workshops were soon crowded with ministers, nurses and social workers. As before, Elisabeth invited dying patients to answer questions at each session, though her fellow doctors objected strongly. They said she was taking advantage of people who were weak and helpless. Elisabeth replied that these patients were eager to share their feelings.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-6-Brief biographies that focus on the accomplishments of these women. Humanitarians includes Princess Diana, Dolores Huerta, Helen Keller, Gra?a Simbine Machel, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Mother Teresa. Medicine features Gerty Cori, Alice Hamilton, Elisabeth K?bler-Ross, Maria Montessori, Anne Spoerry, and Helen Taussig. Each title includes black-and-white and full-color photographs as well as inserts that provide a time line of key events, family and professional background information, and quick facts about aspects of their work. Additional women are introduced in single paragraphs at the end. The appealing format is easy to read, especially for reluctant readers doing research. However, most of the information could be found in a standard encyclopedia. A secondary purchase at best.
