Elizabeth Blackwell (3 February 1821 â 31 May 1910) was a British-born physician, notable as the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States, as well as the first woman on the UK Medical Register.
Several of the Blackwell children would go on to great achievements. Elizabethâs older sister Anna was a poet, translator, and journalist who wrote for many newspapers in the United States and other countries, and her younger sister Emily also studied medicine, earning her degree a few years after Elizabeth. Henry Blackwell, one of Elizabethâs younger brothers, became an editor, journalist, and businessman and the husband of Lucy Stone, a prominent abolitionist and suffragist. After a year teaching and studying in North Carolina, Elizabeth Blackwell moved to Philadelphia, then considered the seat of medical learning in America, and applied for admission to the four medical colleges there.
