Libertie, a new novel by Kaitlyn Greenidge, is inspired by the life of Susan Smith McKinney-Steward, the third African American woman to earn a medical degree in this country. After the Civil War, Dr. McKinney-Steward opened her own practice in Brooklyn and co-founded the Brooklyn Women s Homeopathic Hospital and Dispensary. Dr. McKinney-Steward was an exceptional woman, a pioneer. But, of course, it can be hard living in the shadow of such a pathbreaker, especially when you yourself are drawn to the simpler pleasures of the conventional. That s the predicament of the narrator of this novel, who s given the magnificent name of Libertie by her mother a Black female doctor modeled on Dr. McKinney-Steward. Ironically, the liberty our narrator most fiercely desires is freedom from her remarkable mother s grand expectations.
