“One day an envelope arrived from a college. She opened it and everything changed. It said..... YES!“

A very “french“ style of illustrations. Also, I love the terrier dog- airedales are my family dog, and no one knows what the look like.

Published in 2013, the children's nonfiction book is based around the upbringing of the first female doctor. Elizabeth Blackwell never even originally had an interest in becoming a doctor, but she endured so much oppression that she wanted to prove everyone wrong. When she was finally accepted into med school she prooved all of her male counterparts wrong and paved the way for all female doctors.

Elizabeth proved that she was as smart as any boy. And soon the boys wanted to know what Elizabeth thought about this or that. It took the townspeople longer to accept her. Some people are afraid of anything new or different. Not Elizabeth.

I definitely want this in my classroom! This book could be read aloud for a variety of reasons, it‘s so applicable. This book overflows with empowering messages and themes.

Talk about a book that screams girl power! Even though this story is very old, it is inspiring and awesome. Today most kids would never imagine women not being able to be doctors, even though this was only about 200 years ago.

Cute picture book about the U.S. ‘s first female doctor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice profile of a cool woman I'd never heard of! Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman doctor, and this book shows how she went from a tough kid to a pioneer in the medical field. #mommyreads #picturebooks #biography #heygirl
