Virginia wouldn't slow down! : the unstoppable Dr. Apgar and her life-saving invention

Pearson, Carrie A. 1962- (author.). Carpenter, Nancy, (illustrator.).

Summary: Born at the turn of the twentieth century, Virginia “Ginny” Apgar soared above what girls were expected to do―or not do. She wasn’t quiet, she wore all sorts of outfits, she played the sports she wanted to―and she pursued the career she chose, graduating near the top of her class at Columbia University and becoming only the second board-certified female anesthesiologist in the United States. The simple five-step test she created―scribbled on the back of a piece of paper in answer to a trainee’s question―became the standard and continues to impact countless newborn babies’ lives today.
