Women in white coats : how the first women doctors changed the world of medicine

Campbell, Olivia A. (author.).

Summary: "In the early 1800s, women were dying in large numbers from treatable diseases because they avoided receiving medical care. Motivated by personal loss and frustration over inadequate medical care, Elizabeth Blackwell, Lizzie Garret Anderson and Sophie Jex-Blake fought for a woman's place in the male-dominated medical field. For the first time ever, this book tells the complete history of these three pioneering women who, despite countless obstacles, earned medical degrees and paved the way for other women to do the same."--Provided by the publisher.
