Lone Woman Doctor, America's First Female Physician (previous title: Lone Woman) is the inspiring story of Elizabeth Blackwell as she follows a tortuous path to become the first woman to receive a medical degree in the U.S. Blackwell's interested in studying medicine evolved when a dying friend indicated her suffering would have been greatly eased by having a female doctor. Blackwell, given no hope by male physicians of becoming a physician studied on her own while applying to medical schools. She was consistently refused entrance. However, Geneva College (now Hobart College) put her application to a student vote. Thinking it a practical joke, the students unanimously agreed to admit Elizabeth. She graduated at the top of her class in 1849. Blackwell opened a practice in a small house in downtown New York City. She lived in the attic and treated patients in the lower rooms. Today it is called The New York Downtown Hospital and Blackwell's tradition of excellence in medical education and patient care is proudly continued. Blackwell became an advocate for social change by promulgating such unique ideas as the efficacy of fresh air and clean surroundings. Her riveting story demonstrates what can be accomplished with determination by one lone woman.
