Through her poignant and relatable narrative, Koven encourages readers to embrace their own imperfect selves and recognize the resilience and strength that comes from overcoming adversity. Letter to a Young Female Physician serves as an indelible eyewitness account from a doctor, mother, wife, daughter, teacher, and writer, offering valuable insights and inspiration to those embarking on their medical journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 x 209 x 24 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781324021902\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SuzanneKoven","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100123525370,"sku":"9781324021902","price":11.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1656074325363_book.jpg?v=1656163624","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/letter-to-a-young-female-physician-thoughts-on-life-and-work-9781324021902","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
