16) How would the author describe Elizabeth Blackwell's eventual admission to medical school?
Among her many accomplishments, Elizabeth Blackwell is perhaps most recognized for being the first fully accredited female physician in the United States. After being rejected by sixteen medical schools, Geneva College (now Hobart College) accepted her application in 1847. At the time, Geneva College had a reputation as a very liberal college and the faculty put the question of her acceptance to a student vote. According to legend, the students thought her application a hoax and voted her in as a joke. Regardless, she suffered the criticism and prejudice of some of her professors and classmates and graduated at the top of her class two years later as the first woman to earn her medical degree in America.
Her trials, However, did not end there as she found it extremely difficult to find a hospital that was willing to let her practice. Eventually she found one in Pennsylvania that reluctantly allowed her to continue to work toward s becoming a surgeon. She left her for Paris a few months later, but no hospitals were willing to admit her because of her gender. Left with few options, she enrolled at La Maternite, a midwifery school of high repute. Unfortunately, when treating an ill infant, her left eye became severely infected and was eventually removed. This injury dashed her dreams of becoming a surgeon but did nothing to dampen her hopes of becoming a practicing physician.
After traveling to England to receive further training, she returned to New York City and eventually founded, together with her younger sister, Dr. Emily Blackwell, the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children in 1857.
In spite of continuous prejudice and hardship, the two sisters founded the Women's Medical College in 1868, which was the first of its type in the United States. It also became one of the first U.S. medical schools to require four years of study. One of its more famous graduates was Rebecca Cole who wast the first black woman in the U.S. to become a doctor.
While the college closed in 1899 due, ironically, to competition, the hospital still operates on East 15th street in New York City under the name the New York Infirmary-Strang Clinic.
