Inspired by the number one New York Times best seller She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger comes a chapter book series about women who stood up, spoke up and rose up against the odds!

In this chapter book biography by best-selling author and physician Sayantani DasGupta, listeners learn about the amazing life of Virginia Apgar – and how she persisted.

There weren’t many women who tried to become doctors when Virginia Apgar went to medical school – but she didn’t let that stop her. After a professor discouraged from becoming a surgeon, she became an anesthesiologist instead and created the famous Apgar test to check the health of newborn babies. It’s a test that’s still used in hospitals across the world today!
