Sample Book Insights:

#1 On May 14, 2018, a crowd of New Yorkers celebrated the unveiling of a commemorative plaque for Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in America, at her old house on Bleecker and Crosby streets. But neither the ceremony nor the plaque addressed the hardship and pain that came with being the first female doctor.

#2 The Blackwell sisters were physicians, and they did manage to raise the expectations and ambitions of women, from the slums of Five Points to the salons of Fifth Avenue.

#3 The Blackwell family was leaving England for America in 1832, when Samuel realized that his business was a very good one and that he could raise his children better there than in England. His wife Hannah agreed, though she was sad to leave her native land.

#4 Samuel and his family were Dissenters, meaning they were not part of the Church of England. They were also antislavery activists, and they were quite unorthodox in their beliefs.
