Story/Video: Elizabeth Blackwell
Dr. Dennis Denenberg – Elizabeth Blackwell – W O W
Elizabeth Blackwell – First American Female Doctor
Every doctor’s college said “NO, NO, NO” – no woman may become a doctor! That’s the way it was in 1840 in the USA. But Elizabeth Blackwell said “YES, YES, YES.” She had the intelligence and skills needed to become a doctor. Most importantly, Elizabeth had CONFIDENCE. “I can” was her winning spirit. And that very confident young woman became Dr. Blackwell, leading the way for many others.
