In 1909, Dr. Anna Darrow, a pioneering female physician on the Florida frontier, became only the 2nd ever female doctor in Florida. Sometimes called the Petticoat Doctor of the Everglades, she often traveled alone braving swampland, alligators, venomous snakes, and dangerous outlaw gangs in order to heal the sick, nurse the wounded and deliver babies. A wife, mother, physician, pharmacist, artist and even veterinarian when called upon, she followed her dreams and found beauty, friendships and adventures along the way.
