The Doctors Blackwell, to me, was a complicated and fascinating narrative. The two sisters accomplished enormous milestones in furthering women’s admission into American medical schools while facing enormous obstacles from mostly men and some women. I was surprised at their churlish attitude towards other women and their adversity to being involved in suffrage. Emily’s words, “You will be brought in contact with the working ways of men. Get from this new companionship all that is good, but do not lose in it a particle of what is truly and desirably your own … It is for us to do our part, that hereafter the old and time-honored profession may be proud of her daughters as of her sons.” to me, was profound.
