In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth and #ArchivesWomenInSTEM , we're taking a look at the first Japanese American woman physician in Seattle: Dr. Ruby Inouye Shu — Dr. Ruby, as she was affectionately known to the hundreds of patients she served over her decades-long career.

'It is not easy to be a pioneer - but oh, it is fascinating! I would not trade one moment, even the worst moment, for all the riches in the world.'
- Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to earn a medical degree in the United States (1849)
