This source provided me the information of how Elizabeth Blackwell stood firm against women’s rights and finally got a degree in medics. It tells me how she worked in clinics in Paris and London but later lost sight in her left eye which didn’t permit her to become a surgeon. She didn’t give up though and later opened her own dispensary.

There are some facts that aren’t really known about Elizabeth Blackwell. For example, in “La Maternite Hospital” in France, Blackwell had caught an eye infection from one of the children, and ended up not being able to see in that eye and having to use a glass eye. Because of this, she was not allowed to become a surgeon.

In 1845, Elizabeth Blackwell decided to study the field of medicine. This thought was supported by her friend who was dying of cancer, and suggested there be female doctors too instead of just male doctors. Since Blackwell got rejected from all the medical universities she applied to because she was a woman, it was a surprise when she got accepted to Geneva. The students there thought her admittance was a joke, and at first, they did not treat her fairly, but later she proved to them that she was a worthy physician.

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in Bristol, England, February 3rd, 1821. Her father thought each of his sons/daughters, (Blackwell had 4 brothers and 4 sisters), should have a good education, so he hired private tutors for all of them. In 1832, the Blackwell family moved to New York City where they owned a sugar refinery. Later, in 1838, they all moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Sadly, three weeks later Elizabeth’s father had died. The Blackwell sisters became teachers to support the family.
