Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. Chris Smith (front jacket photograph) (illustrator). x, 355, [1] pages. Illustrations. Index, Slight dust jacket wear and soiling. Inscribed by Dr. Elders on the fep. The inscription reads To Eloisa Yvonne, Carmela Maria, Kimberly Yvonne Kaila Yvonne Best Wishes Dr. Joycelyn Elders 11/3/00. Also signed and dated by Dr. Elders on the title page. The outspoken former surgeon general shares her inspiring story, from her childhood in a one-room cabin to her tenure in the highest medical position in the United States and the controversies that have surrounded her. Minnie Joycelyn Elders (born Minnie Lee Jones; August 13, 1933) is an American pediatrician and public health administrator who served as Surgeon General of the United States from 1993 to 1994. A vice admiral in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, she was the second woman, second person of color, and first African American to serve as Surgeon General. Elders is known for her frank discussion of her views on controversial issues such as drug legalization and distributing contraception in schools. She was forced to resign in December 1994 amidst controversy as a result of her views. Elders is a professor emerita of pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Derived from a Kirkus review: Just what one would expect from the no-nonsense Elders: an unvarnished account that tells as much about our society as about her remarkable life. In collaboration with writer Chanoff, Elders tells an inspiring story of a child born to an Arkansas sharecropper in 1933 who 60 years later became the first black woman surgeon general of the US. Family and church instilled in her early a commitment to education and a high moral sense. With a college scholarship, good role models, hard work, the GI Bill, and strong mentors, she rose swiftly. When she became chief resident at the University of Arkansas Medical School in 1963, it was an unheard-of honor for a black woman, and with the help of an NIH fellowship grant in biochemistry, she was soon Arkansas's resident expert in pediatric endocrinology. Elders's story is much more than a brilliant career resume. She shares details of her personal lifeher strong marriage, her husband's deep depression, the loss of a child, and her younger son's problems with cocaineand her introduction to public life. In 1987, Arkansas governor Bill Clinton asked her to direct the state's health department. With this appointment, Eldersa pragmatist, not a politicianbattled `antichoice, antieducation, anticondom fundamentalists' outraged by her plans for distributing condoms in school clinics. Six years later, when Clinton picked the outspoken Elders as his surgeon general, he knew exactly what he was getting. Her account of her brief tenure, only 15 months, is restrained, but it's clear that relations with her boss, Donna Shalala, were rocky, and she blames Shalala and Leon Panetta, not Clinton, for her dismissal. Now back in Arkansas teaching pediatrics, Elders says she has no regrets. She knows who she is and what she stands for. After reading this absorbing autobiography, readers will too. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
