Women in White Coats

by Olivia Campbell

In 'Women in White Coats,' Olivia Campbell recounts the trailblazing journeys of Elizabeth Blackwell, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, and Sophia Jex-Blake, three Victorian women who transformed the male-dominated medical world. Faced with condescension and opposition, these pioneers earned their medical degrees and championed women's healthcare, culminating in the creation of women-run hospitals and teaching colleges. Through tenacious perseverance, they provided medical care for women by women, challenging social stigmas and reshaping the expectations of female doctors.
