Description

Tells the inspiring story of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to earn a medical degree in the United States, detailing her arduous journey to overcome societal barriers and prejudice to achieve her dream of becoming a doctor. The public at the time found the idea of a woman doctor laughable, but that didn’t stop Elizabeth.

The book explores both her struggles to gain an education and her later career as a physician and advocate for women in medicine.
