Elizabeth Blackwell wants to become a doctor, but people told her that girls could not do this. Elizabeth kept her dreams and became the first woman doctor. If you like biographies and want to read about a girl who believes in her dreams and becomes what she wants to be, then this is a good book for you.
A girl that always wanted to be an Doctor, who cared for animals and loved to help people, Elizabeth Blackwell. It is a true story I would suggest for all ages. This book is about a girl who wants to be a doctor but can't because shes a girl. She trys anyway, she fights for it becomes one. I like this book because it tells me if someone wants to be something they will try and try there hardest for it!
My daughter is 12 and thoroughly enjoyed this book and all the wonderful information inside, a great line of books for young readers!
bought this for my 7 year old niece...she really liked this book
Another in the excellent series that helps kids view history as real because of being able to relate to the stories of its players. My students love these books. Highly recommended.
My daughter had to write a report on Elizabeth Blackwell and this book was perfect.
My daughter loves this book. A great history book.
