Book Review

The author is Tristan Boyer Binns, copyright date is 2005 by Scholastic. I give this book five stars because it gives a lot of information like, a time line, real articles about Elizabeth or whats happening in the world at that time, and it had just the right amount of pictures and captions.

Obsticals or Risks

My family believed that slaves should be band, so wen I moved to states that had a lot of slaves I felt mad that they were being used. Also I had to face the fact that men didn't think women should be doctors and Geneva Medical Collage almost didn't give me my diploma. After I became a doctor I opened a free dispensary or hospital, that let African Americans be patents and some people didn't like that.

Interesting things about me

Some things you might not have known about me is that, I was a teacher before I was a doctor. I taught for seven years before I attended medical school. I also knew and occasionally worked with Florence Nightingale. She and I both had a concern with hygiene and thought we should concentrate on it more often. During the War. I also meet President Abraham Lincoln. I was very sad wen he died.

My Character Traits

• I am a strong independent woman, who loves to travel and wants women to have a place in the world.


• I'm also caring, I care for everyone no matter what.


• I'm also told that I'm determined, I'm determined for women to be able to become doctors and work in hospitals along side men.

Effects made

The most common effect you will hear about me is that I was the first lady doctor. I also organized Woman's Central Association of for the Sick and Wounded of the army. A lot of woman came to help make bandages and other items for the wounded. I also formed a sanitary commission to help the Union army. I remembered how it helped the British. But no government officials were interested in our plans to make the living conditions much more sanitary for the solders , all though some men thought it was fantastic idea. Led by a Unitarian minister a group of male doctors traveled to Washington D.C to persuade President Lincoln to allow women to help. On June 13, President Lincoln was convinced and set up the United States Sanitary Commission. I was very pleased to hear this news.

All About Me

My name is Elizabeth Blackwell, I was born in near Bristol,England on February 3,1821. My family was considered very strange, because we believed it was OK to go outside and get some exercise. My father owned a sugar refinery were they changed sugar cane into sugar crystals. We moved to New York in 1832. My father died in 1838. We Had no way to support our self's so we opened up an all girl school. After awhile another school school for girls opened up, so all the girls went there. I got a job offer for a new school in Hendes, Kentucky so I decided I should take it.
