Description: "The daughter of Danish immigrants, Nora was educated in rural schools, and then taught physical education and worked as a physical therapist in South Dakota, New York, Virginia, Minnesota, Texas, Illinois, Utah, California, and Montana. She was, in turn, a dynamic teacher and coach, pioneering physical therapist, and an inspirational college professor. Her story embodies the best of the American Experience and parallels fundamental changes in twentieth-century America, especially in the field of therapeutic physical therapy."--From the introduction.
