“She turned to private study and was taught anatomy at the London Hospital and general medicine under the tuition of professors at St Andrews University and Edinburgh University Extra-Mural School”(Brooks 13-15). None of this would have been possible without the continued financial and moral support of her father. In order to practice medicine, Garrett had to gain a qualifying diploma. London University, the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons and other examining bodies refused to allow her to sit their examinations, but she discovered that the Society of Apothecaries did not specifically ban women from taking their exams. “In 1865 Elizabeth went on to pass the

College was an exception rather than a rule for women in the 1870s, but John Addams approved of higher education for women, and Jane wanted to go. In 1877, seventeen years old, Jane boarded a train at Cedarville station, and set off for Rockford Seminary, a “female college” in Rockford, Illinois. Like the twenty-two other women in her freshman class, Addams felt singled out for special opportunity, and she was determined to make the most of it. A few years later, after organizing a chess club, a debating society, an amateur theatrical group and editing/writing for the Rockford Seminary Magazine, Jane graduated and returned home to Cedarville. Jane Addams intended to carry out her plan of attending the Women’s Medical College in the fall of 1881 largely because she had to her father she would. Jane soon realized that medical school was not for her as she found she was incapable of concentrating on her classes, an “utter failure” and “unable to work at the best of myself.” In February of 1882, she dropped out and entered a hospital, suffering from severe back pain as well as depression. That April, Jane underwent an operation to straighten her spine caused by an earlier childhood diagnosis, tuberculosis of the spine.

The Progressive Era was an era of reforms to bring the United States up from its corrupted and poverty-stricken condition. In light of these reforms, new ideas were formed, challenging tradition. Of these, the early women’s civil rights movements of the late 1890’s to late 1910’s stood as one of the most prominent. In 1917, towards the end of the era and right before President Wilson ratified the 19th Amendment, feminist and journalist Alice Stone Blackwell responded to possible outcomes if women were allowed the right to vote. Blackwell’s response towards anti-suffrage ideals is significant to the Progressive Era due to her deconstruction of the arguments against women’s suffrage, essentially revealing its acceptance would not present a

Elizabeth I (known simply as "Elizabeth" until the accession of Elizabeth II; 7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was queen regnant of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. Sometimes called "The Virgin Queen", "Gloriana" or "Good Queen Bess", Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. The daughter of Henry VIII, she was born a princess, but her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed two and a half years after her birth.[1]

She first wanted to be an internist, but it changed when she became interested in neurosurgery. But that path was where people told her not to do, so she encountered difficulties obtaining the internship. But she refused to give up; she was then accepted as a surgical intern at the Yale-New Have Hospital. She went there after graduating, cum laude, from medical school in 1975.

Dr. Yvonne S. Thornton was born at New York City, November 21, 1947. Her father dreamt that all of his daughters would become doctors. Her choice to attend Medical School was highly her own intention. After Dr. Yvonne S. Thornton graduated from Monmouth University, she was accepted at Columbia University of medical physician. Thornton and her husband volunteered active duty in the U.S Navy, and she became Lieutenant Commander in the Medical Corps.

Dr. Winner received her undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree from Stanford University in 2001, and then took an astounding three year break before even beginning medical school. Interestingly, she decided to enter onto the pre med track later in college and so she applied later as well, which accounted for one year of her break. However, being from Alaska, one of her desires was to go to the University of Washington in Seattle, as it was considered a state medical school because Alaska did not have one. She applied there, but was rejected. Columbia University, however, did accept her, but she did not want to go there, as she viewed it as being “halfway across the country from her.” So she asked to defer her enrollment and surprisingly, they allowed it. So, in that year

In 1894 Martha was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (Pratt 8). She was the daughter of Jane Beers and George Graham. Her father was a well-known physician who treated mental disorders. After living in Pennsylvania for 12 years, she and her family moved to Santa Barbara,

Elizabeth Blackwell was the first women to graduate with a doctorate degree along with a profusion of success in her

Elizabeth Blackwell showed herself as a dedicated and diligent doctor during five years of work in Neurological Associates, and made a significant contribution to the profit margin of the partnership. The partners were delighted with hiring Blackwell in 2005 and they introduced her to medical physicians at a conference. But the referral base Blackwell went through was not the result of that investment by the partnership but instead it was the evidence of her professionalism in neurological sphere.

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in 1821 in Bristol, England. She was one of nine children and her father was a very prosperous sugar refiner. Her family immigrated to New York City in 1832. Her family was very active in the abolitionist movement in New York. Her father’s refinery did not prosper and forced the family to move to Cincinnati, Ohio in 1838. Her father died shortly after this move and meant that the boys now needed to find work and the girls now needed to attend school. The Blackwells made

Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female physician in America, struggled with sexual prejudice to earn her place in history. She was born in Bristol, England on February 3, 1821 to a liberal and wealthy family. She was the third daughter in a family of nine children. Her father, Samuel Blackwell, believed in the value of education and knowledge and hired a governess for the girls, even though many girls were not educated in those days. In 1832, the family sugar cane plantation went bankrupt, forcing the family to move to America.

To me, Eleanor shows psychological traits of moratorium. Moratorium meaning is the status of individuals who are in the midst of a crisis, whose commitments are either absent or are only vaguely defined, but who are actively exploring alternatives.Hence her applying to medical school after being enmeshed in French art and culture (due to her majored in French), ultimately making a full circle back to her upbringing of physician parents. However, with this specific character trait, her time in medical school could possibly be nothing more than another chapter her in journey self-discovery.

On the 13th of October 1925, a young baby girl was born for a reason, simply to change the world. Born and raised in Margaret Hilda Roberts in Grantham, Lincolnshire was Margaret Roberts. She studied in Oxford University, Somerville College, and Grantham Girl’s High school.
