	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - A Book Report I really enjoyed learning about Elizabeth Blackwell in the biography "The First Woman Doctor" by Rachel Baker. The begining of this book describes Elizabeth's childhood in a fun and educational way. Elizabeth was born in Bristol, England on February 3rd, 1821. Elizabeth lived with her parents, who were very religous, and eight siblings. When Elizabeth was 11 years old her and her family moved to America in 1832 on a merchant ship named the "Cosmo." Elizabeth didn't like the move but her father said America had more opportunity for the family. When Elizabeth was 17 her father died leaving her family with no money at all. So to raise money Elizabeth and her two older sisters, Anna and Marion, opened up a boarding school for girls. In 1847 Elizabeth was accepted into Geneva Medical College after being rejected by other schools. In 1849 she graduated in the top of her class at Geneva and was the first woman in the world to receive a medical degree. Then Elizabeth went to go study at La Maternite' in Paris, France. While attending to a baby with an eye disease she herself caught the disease and was blinded in her left eye. She visited England before returning to America.In 1857 Elizabeth and her younger sister, Emily, opened the New York Infimary for Indigent Women and Children. The infirmary wasn't very popular. The most people who went there were poor women who needed help. I think the infirmary was the biggest achievement in Elizabeth's lfe.ELizabeth went to England in 1869, along with her adopted daughter, Kitty, to remain there in until her death in 1910. Elizabeth died on May 31, 1910, in Hastings, England.I like this book because, it was very informational during Elizabeth's childhood and life in America. I like that Elizabeth NEVER gave up and was determined to become a doctor.I recomend this book for people who want to be the first at something and to not give up on their dreams. Also young girls who want to become doctors would really enjoy this book about the first woman doctor, Elizabeth Blackwell. Elizabeth's life story is an inspiration to everyone. + See Full Customer Review
