Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to graduate from medical school. More women wanted to become doctors but were barred from schools. Instead, she worked with Mary Putnam Jacobi to create their own schools and hospitals for women. This is a book about the history of women physicians and women’s health. More information should be known about these trailblazing women.
