5.0 out of 5 stars
An Inspiring Book.,
By Lynn Ellingwood "The ESOL Teacher" (Webster, NY United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Elizabeth Blackwell: The Story of the First Woman Doctor (Biographies for Young Children) (Paperback)
This book is very good at describing the young life of Elizabeth Blackwell. Her father raised his children to be equal in their eyes and the girls' education was valued as much as the sons. Elizabeth also experienced sickness and death close to her which inspired her to become a doctor. Finally in medical school, some professors refused to allow her in their classrooms and fellow students mocked and harrassed her. Well, she made it! A great story for students and a good way to reflect how societies try to isolate and ostracize minorites.
