Elizabeth Blackwell: A Doctor's Triumph
by Nancy Kline
Blackwell bravely struggled to become a doctor during a time when society shunned women in the medical field. Her persistence throughout the obstacles and ostracism she faced in medical school is truly inspiring. This was one of the first biographies I read almost 30 years ago when I began the search for readable inspiring stories to share with students. The impression has stayed with me until now.
If you can't find this particular story, there have been several others about her published over the years. If you read another good version, publish a comment and let us know!
I hesitate to assign grade or age levels. These levels are general suggestions due to the fact that younger children probably would not have the stamina to listen to the longer books. Also not all content is suitable for younger children. But all ages would enjoy hearing or reading the stories on the list marked for PreK-4.
