Description: *****This is the hard book older version.please ignore the info for the newer version paperback. *Hard cover. **Great read,, only opened to try to find an IBSN number. none was found... HardcoverPublisher: Little Brown & Company (January 1970)Up against the limitations of American medicine in the early 1800s & how women suffered at the hands of male physicians, came, from a close-knit family of Dissenters who emigrated from England, a single-minded young woman determined to become a surgeon. A few physicians rallied to her cause, becoming sponsors, but no medical schools would admit her except, eventually, Geneva Medical College of Western New York, and that was actually the result of a joke. The many personal and professional hurdles that Blackwell had to overcome in order to succeed are detailed in this well-documented narrative, presented within the context of her social and intellectual milieu, her teaching career, and the community of medicine during her lifetime. Originally back in 1970 In New condition I've seen for as high as $57.
