Thank you for registering for our virtual book discussion – The Doctors Blackwell by Janice P. Nimura. A New York Times bestselling book and a finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in biography. We are excited to hear what you think about these two National Hall of Fame Inductees - Elizabeth was inducted in 1973 and Emily in 1993.
In 1849 Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman in America to receive an MD. Together with her sister Emily, Elizabeth founded the first female staffed hospital in New York City. Facing fierce resistance from their male counterparts, a complex relationship with one another and a civil war, these two pioneering sisters paved the way for women in medicine.
Ms. Nimura will be on hand to answer questions after the book discussion.
You can order your copy of "The Doctors Blackwell" right from us! Purchase of the book includes admission to the virtual discussion, the author autographed book plate, and of course the book itself!
