Sample Book Insights:
#1 The question of whether or not to study medicine was raised with Elizabeth by Mary Donaldson, a neighbor who was dying of advanced uterine cancer. Elizabeth hated everything connected with the body, and could not bear the sight of a medical book.
#2 The practice of medicine in the first half of the 1800s was a gruesome business. Doctors would treat diseases with toxic metals, such as mercury chloride, which was believed to cure anything from cancer to cholera.
#3 Elizabeth’s friend Mary died of a painful disease, and she began to think about becoming a doctor. If other women joined her in becoming a physician, no woman would have to suffer like Mary.
#4 Elizabeth’s goal was to expand women’s educational and career opportunities. She wanted to be a doctor, and she wanted to do it against her strong inclinations.
