"Who Says Women Can't Be Doctors?: The Story of Elizabeth Blackwell" by Marjorie Priceman tells the inspiring story of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. Facing tremendous obstacles and societal prejudice in the 19th century, Elizabeth's determination and passion for medicine shone through as she fought for her dream. The book highlights her challenges, her relentless pursuit of education, and her eventual success in a male-dominated field. Through vibrant illustrations and engaging storytelling, young readers learn about perseverance and the importance of breaking barriers, making it a celebration of women's empowerment in medicine.
