Patricia's Vision: The Doctor Who Saved Sight (People Who Shaped Our World)

Born in 1940s Harlem, Patricia Bath dreamed of being a doctor--even though that wasn't a career option for most women. This inspiring biography follows Dr. Bath in her quest to become an ophthalmologist and restore sight to the blind. "Choosing miracles" when everyone else had given up hope, she invented a specialized laser for removing cataracts, becoming the first African-American woman doctor to receive a medical patent.
