What Did It Take?: The Story of Anna Louise James

Anna Louise James grew up to become the first female pharmacist in Connecticut and the owner of a quaint apothecary shop that still stands in Old Saybrook today. Miss James was one of the first women to become a pharmacist in an era when most professions were strictly male. What did it take to break through so many traditional barriers and achieve so many firsts? It took courage; it took discipline; it took determination in the true New England spirit that was portrayed by Miss James and her highly accomplished family.
