Women in Medicine: Elizabeth Blackwell and Elizabeth Garrett Anderson: Band 16/Sapphire

by Isabel Thomas, Cliff Moon (Editor)

Overview

Find out all about two ground breaking figures in medicine—Elizabeth Blackwell and Elizabeth Garret Anderson, two women who fought to become doctors in the early 1800s. What was life like for women in the early 19th century, what obstacles did both women come up against, and ultimately how did they succeed? Sapphire/Band 16 books offer longer reads to develop children's sustained engagement with texts and are more complex syntactically.
