Meet a trailblazer who inspired generations of girls to change the world. Sara Josephine Baker was a strong and adventurous girl growing up in New York during the late 1800s. After losing her brother and father to typhoid fever, she became fiercely determined to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. In her day, medical schools were closed to women, but times were changing and she was at the forefront. Even after graduating in 1898, Dr. Jo faced deep prejudice and an empty waiting room. Instead of giving up, she accepted a public health job in Hell's Kitchen, one of New York's poorest neighborhoods. There, she treated the most vulnerable patients by ensuring babies had fresh air, safe environments, and proper food. Discover how her compassion and ingenuity made her famous for saving thousands of children.
