Bookroo's summary
In 1847, Elizabeth Blackwell challenges Victorian norms to become the first female physician. Facing societal scorn and institutional barriers, she fights to revolutionize medicine and provide essential care for women. Will her determination break through the male-dominated world of medicine, or will she be silenced by the era's rigid expectations? Discover the inspiring journey of a trailblazer who dared to change the course of history.
From the publisher
Victorian Society recoiled at the thought of a woman learning about the human body. Yet in 1847, Elizabeth Blackwell was determined to become a physician–one who would not just improve the practice of medicine, but would also provide desperately needed medical care for the women of her time. Author Nancy Kline vividly recreates Blackwell’s world and her struggle to gain knowledge and acceptance in the closed, males only world of medicine.
