Prior to the development of a simple test called the Apgar score, many newborn babies missed receiving the urgent care they needed at birth. Dr. Virginia Apgar came up with the Apgar score to help these newborns by rating them in a number of different health areas. The savior of countless young lives, Virginia Apgar is hailed as a legend, a trailblazer, and an inventor. Readers delve into the riveting story of a medical legend who inspired women doctors to succeed at a time when society did not value the contributions of women in the work force.
