Abstract:
Rogers recounts the life Delia Dixon, who was born into the eminent family of Thomas Dixon, Sr. From early life she dreamed of being something unheard of in that time period--a woman doctor. Achieving her goal, she later married Norwood Carroll, a Raleigh dentist. She was the first woman doctor in the city of Raleigh and the first physician for Meredith College, a position she held for thirty-five years.
