As a woman in the early 1900s, Kate Pelham Newcomb’s path to achieving her dream of becoming a doctor was far from smooth, but she didn’t let that keep her from working to make it happen. Once she did, new challenges crossed her path. As a physician in the northwoods of Wisconsin, reaching her patients sometimes meant trekking through the snow, or canoeing across water to get there. Kate forged ahead to help thousands of patients, eventually helping to build a hospital to better care for her community.
