Susan La Flesche Picotte
La Flesche grew up with seven other siblings, her mother, and her father. Her father was a very important figure in her life and inspired her to be more than what she looked like, and to strive for the best. She decided she wanted to be a doctor after a lady died in front of her because a white man didn’t check on her. This made her want to become a doctor and help fight the racial inequalities this world was made out of.
