Elizabeth Blackwell, English Physician and Social Reformer

Légende:

Traduction automatique: Elizabeth Blackwell (3 février 1821 - 31 mai 1910) était un médecin anglais. Sa motivation pour se lancer dans la médecine est venue après que son amie soit tombée malade et a suggéré que si une femme médecin avait pris soin d'elle, elle n'aurait peut-être pas autant souffert. Blackwell a commencé à postuler dans les facultés de médecine, mais elle a subi de nombreux préjugés en raison de son sexe. Elle a été rejetée de toutes les facultés de médecine auxquelles elle a postulé, à l'exception de la Faculté de médecine de Genève. En 1847, Blackwell devint la première femme à fréquenter une école de médecine aux États-Unis. Sa thèse sur la fièvre typhoïde a été publiée dans le Buffalo Medical Journal juste après avoir obtenu son diplôme universitaire en 1849. Cet article était le premier article médical publié par une étudiante des États-Unis. Lorsque la guerre civile américaine a éclaté, les s?urs Blackwell ont contribué aux efforts de soins infirmiers. Blackwell sympathisait beaucoup avec le Nord en raison de ses racines abolitionnistes et allait même jusqu'à dire qu'elle aurait quitté le pays si le Nord avait fait un compromis sur le sujet de l'esclavage. Elizabeth Blackwell a joué un rôle important aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni en tant que réformatrice sociale et morale. Elle pensait que les jeux de cour étaient insensés au début de sa vie, appréciait son indépendance et ne s'est jamais mariée. En 1907, Blackwell tomba dans un escalier et resta presque complètement handicapé mental et physique. Elle décède en 1910 à l'âge de 89 ans. Aucun photographe crédité, 1877
