Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and emigrated to New York City when she was ten. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the 19^th century. After writing many letters asking for admission to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia.

In 1849, after graduating from medical school, she decided to continue her education  in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection crashed her plans.

Returning to the USA 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, could open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first female physician and founding her own hospital, she also founded the first medical school for women.
