A biography of a strong and dedicated woman, Elizabeth Blackwell, who successfully worked for the recognition of women in the field of medicine in both the United States and Great Britain.
"I'm going to be a doctor," young Elizabeth tells her family. She knows it won't be easy. In 1840, there were no women doctors in America. But Elizabeth was raised to think for herself... Despite the odds, Elizabeth Blackwell did become a doctor. And by pursuing her own dreams, she gave other women the chance to become doctors." -- Book description
