Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821 and emigrated to New York City when she was ten years
old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a women in the
middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters seeking admission to medical schools, she was
finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. So determined was she that she taught school and gave music
lessons to earn money for her tuition.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to
be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection forced her to abandon the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman.
By 1857, Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another female doctor, managed to open a new
hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first female physician in the United States and
founding her own hospital, she also established the first medical school for women.
