In addition to her career as a pioneering woman in what was then a discipline with significant barriers to entry, she completed all the requirements for a medical degree except the internship. She also learned six languages and taught each of her children a musical instrument. In addition, she published two books for children ("Bimbo: A Little Real Story for Jill and Molly" (1905) and "Bimbo and the Frogs: Another Real Story" (1907)). The former was aimed to explain where babies came from to children while the latter was about cells. The Young's elementary geometry book ("The First Book of Geometry", 1905) was inspired by the education of their son. In 1929 she started a historical novel "The Crown of England" set in the sixteenth century. She worked on this for five years but it was never published.
