Let There Be Life: The Contemporary Account Of Edna L. Griffin, M. D. is a biographical book written by Helen Kitchen Branson. The book tells the story of Edna L. Griffin, an African-American woman who became a doctor in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Griffin's life from her childhood in the segregated South to her medical education and career as a physician.Throughout the book, readers learn about the challenges Griffin faced as a black woman in a predominantly white and male field. Despite these obstacles, Griffin persevered and became a highly respected physician, known for her dedication to her patients and her advocacy for social justice.The book also explores Griffin's personal life, including her marriage and family, as well as her involvement in the civil rights movement. Through interviews with Griffin's family members and colleagues, as well as extensive research, Branson paints a vivid picture of this remarkable woman and her contributions to medicine and society.Overall, Let There Be Life is a compelling and inspiring account of one woman's journey to overcome adversity and make a difference in the world.
