Anna Pohlmann

I have located a newspaper article dated April 1900 where Anna was a plaintiff in an action taken against a doctor who ran the Santa Rosa County Hospital. Her action took a great deal of courage for a woman of her time. He was making inappropriate advances to her and a fellow nurse which had led to her leaving her position a couple of years earlier. She is just one of many examples that my female ancestors have set for me as to how to overcome adversity in my life
