  The Life of Elizabeth Blackwell by Elizabeth Schleichert (Illustrated by Antonio Castro)(Hardcover)

Description from the book back cover:

America's first female physician, Elizabeth Blackwell brought to her profession a revolutionary view of medical practice and education. Her career is a series of notable "first": she opened the first hospital staffed by women physicians and the first woman's medical college. Equally important, Blackwell redefined the scope of health care and worked to create a medical community responsive to the needs of women, children, minority groups, and the poor. The Life of Elizabeth Blackwell chronicles a difficult and lonely struggle: the struggle of a pioneering woman to make a place for women in the medical profession.
