Dr. Guion Was a remarkable woman who rose to the top of her chosen profession at a time when women were treated like second class citizens in the field of medicine .
"THE big estate on the Catawba also furnished a
definitely directed motive to the small Connie. From this plantation her
grandfather and five of his eleven brothers had gone off to medical school in
Lexington, Kentucky. They subsequently practiced medicine formally while their
mother practiced it informally, but almost as extensively, when she covered the
plantation on horseback ministering to sick slaves. Family stories of these
earlier generations planted in the child the notion of becoming a doctor. And
there was an added embellishment: a visual picture of Dr. C. Guion calling on
her patients in a carriage drawn by a pair of zebras, harnessed tandem fashion.
(This stemmed from a banner day in her eighth year when an animal-loving little
girl headed a circus parade on an actual zebra.) "
