I was fortunate enough to meet Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman doctor to graduate and get a degree in medicine. She graduated in the United States and she was holding lectures in London, England where she talked about "Medicine as a Profession for Ladies." She talked about how becoming a doctor is not only for men but is also a career that women can be involved in. She was an inspiring woman and helped me to believe that I could be a doctor and make a difference in society. Blackwell also explained how mothers should be educated about the health of their children and their own health as well. She also said that women could help in many institutions such as prisons, hospital, and schools to spread the word of health and the new-found role of women. Elizabeth Blackwell was kind enough to talk to me and we were both engaged in a meaningful conversation about our passion for medicine.
