Elizabeth Blackwell's autobiographical sketches chronicle her groundbreaking journey as the first woman to earn a medical degree in the U.S. From her challenging childhood and education to her struggles in a male-dominated medical field, she vividly recounts her experiences as a student and her efforts to advocate for women in medicine. Notably, she founded the Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary, highlighting the societal barriers women faced in the 19th century. This work serves as an inspiring testament to her legacy and the fight for gender equality in medicine.
