Drift off to Dreamland with us as we read “Pioneer Work in Opening the Medical Profession to Women, Autobiographical Sketches” by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell.

The book will be read in order so if you would like to begin at the beginning, please start with Season 2, Episode 26.

This episode includes Elizabeth Blackwell’s decision to seek a medical education and the beginning of her effort to earn the money for it by teaching in North and South Carolina.

A quick content note:  This episode will include occasional descriptions of enslaved people. If you prefer to avoid the subject, please rejoin us at Episode 29.
