First woman of color to practice medicine in the Dominican Republic! This woman deserves a documentary

Who was the first woman period? My quick googling shows this woman. Andrea Evangelina Rodríguez Perozo is mentioned, but she came after.

Oh wow! Another amazing woman. What a rich story she also has. These women suffered hell and high water. I wish I had the strength of character these women surely had. Incredible

Growing up in the US, this kind of history goes largely unknown.

Seems Dr. Fraser was not just the first woman of color, but the first woman period to practice medicine in the Dominican Republic.
