Less well-known is the story of the brilliant, pioneering woman who invented it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGinny adored science, hated cooking, drove fast, made her own violins, earned a pilot's license, and traveled the world. Here, Carrie Pearson's jaunty storytelling and Nancy Carpenter's playful illustrations capture the energy and independence of a woman who didn't slow down for anything--and changed newborn care forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 08, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47473109631154,"sku":"9781324003939","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/d089af664575ee64adf23d671f0867a0.webp?v=1779122275","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/virginia-wouldnt-slow-down-the-unstoppable-dr-apgar-and-her-life-saving-invention-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
