New York Times Bestseller"Janice P. Nimura has resurrected Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell in all their feisty, thrilling, trailblazing splendor." —Stacy SchiffElizabeth Blackwell believed from an early age that she was destined for a mission beyond the scope of "ordinary" womanhood. Though the world at first recoiled at the notion of a woman studying medicine, her intelligence and intensity ultimately won her the acceptance of the male medical establishment. In 1849, she became the first woman in America to receive an M.D. She was soon joined in her iconic achievement by her younger sister, Emily, who was actually the more brilliant physician.Exploring the sisters’ allies, enemies, and enduring partnership, Janice P. Nimura presents a story of trial and triumph. Together, the Blackwells founded the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, the first hospital staffed entirely by women. Both sisters were tenacious and visionary, but their convictions did not always align with the emergence of women’s rights—or with each other. From Bristol, Paris, and Edinburgh to the rising cities of antebellum America, this richly researched new biography celebrates two complicated pioneers who exploded the limits of possibility for women in medicine. As Elizabeth herself predicted, "a hundred years hence, women will not be what they are now."

Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive a regular MD degree in the English-speaking world, is a legitimate hero to women, to medicine, and perhaps anyone who has tackled societal prejudices. Nimura does a wonderful job of bringing her story, and equally importantly, her sister's story to a new generation. The Blackwell family left mountains of letters and Nimura has plumbed them for nuggets that put an accessible human feel to a brilliant, determined, and often standoffish person. As a reader, and a physician, I felt that I could probably see Blackwell or her current incarnation in people around me. Nimura has also made a nice addition to the Blackwell canon, which already has a first-rate biography (Julia Boyd's 2005 "Excelllent Doctor Blackwell") and numerous admiring retellings of her story. If I could offer a criticism, and it is not to Nimura as much as to the wave of current reviewers, Blackwell was a genuine innovator, no doubt, but she had help. Austin Flint, Stephen Smith and other New York physician leaders were appalled by their colleagues' misogyny and swam against professional currents from the Blackwells' arrival in New York until their death in 1910 - and beyond. This does not get much attention in Blackwell biographies and even less in homages to her. I don't wish to downplay the challenges women physicians faced, and to some extent still face, but change is about bringing others along. This point in our history feels like a good time to ask how to do that.
