Dr. Lester is a retired professor of the Pritzker School of Medicine and the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Chicago. As a board certified pediatric pulmonologist, she has spent her career as a clinician, educator, research collaborator and administrator. During her career she has written research papers, case reports, book and journal reviews, research grants and book chapters, and has mentored fellows and junior faculty and encouraged their writing, but the life of a busy academic physician did not give her space for a more ambitious writing project. 

She has had the idea of writing a book about “how women do medicine” for many years. During her time as a student, trainee, practicing physician and during her 30 years on a medical school faculty, she and many of her colleagues observed interesting differences in the way men and women practiced medicine. Thinking about the nature of these differences and about whether they had changed over time led her to a more in depth interest in and exploration of the recent history of medicine. She became a member of the American Association for the History of Medicine after retirement, and colleagues that she met and connections she made through this group helped to solidify her decision to write an updated history of women and the way they practice medicine.
