When British-born Elizabeth Blackwell earned her medical degree in America in 1849 there was an international outcry. Few at the time would have disagreed with the actress Fanny Kemble’s remark – ‘What, trust a woman doctor – never!’Yet by the time Dr Blackwell died in 1910 there were hundreds of women practising medicine on both sides of the Atlantic, thanks in no small part to her courage and determination. Using a treasure trove of primary sources, the book reveals how Elizabeth Blackwell’s pioneering efforts helped to fundamentally change the status of women in the West. The Excellent Doctor Blackwell tells a remarkable story, taking in the women’s rights movement, the American Civil War and Elizabeth’s personal tragedy, with a fascinating cast of characters, from Abraham Lincoln to Florence Nightingale.Praise for The Excellent Doctor Blackwell:‘Julia Boyd resists the temptation to turn Blackwell into one of those old-fashioned feminist icons of the 1970s... the result is thorough and, above all, thoughtful’ - The Guardian‘One can only hope that this excellent biography of an excellent doctor will help garner Blackwell the renown she has always deserved’ - New England Journal of Medicine‘Julia Boyd's superb biography reveals B as a complex, tenacious and often frustrating character whose extraordinary single-mindedness changed our world’ - Victorian GeekJulia Boyd worked at the Victoria and Albert Museum before accompanying her diplomat husband on various foreign postings. An accomplished researcher, she has published a number of books including Hannah Riddell: An Englishwoman in Japan, and A Dance with the Dragon: the Vanished World of Peking’s Foreign Colony.

I could hardly get through this!! I got it because the Bregdan Chronicles by Ginny Dye is one of my favorite books series & I've read all 17 or 18 of them. They are historical fiction & start just before the Civil War. The main character is raised on a plantation & is expected to grow up & run a plantation of her own one day. She wants none of it. She has become an abolitionist & wants to become a doctor. She goes to medical school in Phila to one of the 1st schools to admit females & also spends time in NYC so when I saw this book was about a real life Dr who founded one of the 1st medical schools & hospitals for women who also spent time in those cities I was very interested in reading it. I should have paid more attention to the reviewer who was disappointed there was so little about medicine in it because there is virtually none. I don't get this woman at all. She wants to be a doctor but she isn't interested in medicine. She's for sanitation & hygiene but doesn't believe in the germ theory which was in its infancy. How could she not see that as a possibility when she saw the effect of hygiene & sanitation? She gets involved in numerous committees & causes but has conflicts with everyone, most of which I didn't understand. Part of that may be my fault because there is a whole lot of correspondence between her & these various people but I have trouble understanding what is written back that long ago. Maybe it's the phraseology they use or something but I didn't see the points they were trying to make. She & Florence Nightingale become friends then get into it. Florence, I guess, doesn't think females should be doctors. Elizabeth wants to have a hospital (infirmary) but also wants to maintain a private practice which Florence opposes. Why, what is the conflict there?? She travels around an incredible amount including living in numerous places. How does she maintain any kind of a private practice doing that? She finally founds this infirmary but nothing is said about the works she does there & it seems like she is gone more than she is there. There is MUCH more about the practice of medicine back then in the Bregdan Chronicles. This book was just a huge disappointment & I didn't even find Elizabeth the last bit likeable. I can't even admire her for what she accomplished because it seems to me what she did succeeded in spite of her, not because of her.
