Book Synopsis Sophia Jex-Blake by : Shirley Roberts
Download or read book Sophia Jex-Blake written by Shirley Roberts and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opening up of the British medical profession to women was largely due to Sophia Jex-Blake. As a result of her crusade, women's rights to higher education, professional careers and financial independence were more generally accepted. In this first modern biography of Sophia Jex-Blake, Shirley Roberts charts the career of this important pioneer. Her dedication to the cause of women in medicine began when she met two leading women doctors in the United States - Lucy Sewall and Elizabeth Blackwell. On returning to Great Britain, she embarked on a five-year battle with the authorities of the University of Edinburgh for the right of women to take examinations for medical degrees. Later, her campaign through the law courts and in parliament won increasing public support, and was instrumental in two key developments: the passing of legislation allowing women access to medical training, and the foundation of the London School of Medicine for Women. She became Scotland's first woman doctor, conducting her own successful medical practice in Edinburgh, but the medical school for women which she founded in 1874 collapsed in a chaos of acrimony ten years later. Unfortunately, after her death most of her private papers were destroyed by her companion, Margaret Todd. However, Shirley Roberts' account reveals a woman of great courage and intelligence, though one who was also a controversial figure, whose determination and tenacity provoked hostility from some. Sophia Jex-Blake is a fascinating account of one woman's struggle for equality.

Book Synopsis Women in White Coats by : Olivia Campbell

Book excerpt: Meet the pioneering women who changed the medical landscape for us all For fans of Hidden Figures and Radium Girls comes the remarkable story of three Victorian women who broke down barriers in the medical field to become the first women doctors, revolutionising the way women receive health care. In the early 1800s, women were dying in large numbers from treatable diseases because they avoided receiving medical care. Examinations performed by male doctors were often demeaning and even painful. In addition, women faced stigma from illness--a diagnosis could greatly limit their ability to find husbands, jobs or be received in polite society. Motivated by personal loss and frustration over inadequate medical care, Elizabeth Blackwell, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Sophia Jex-Blake fought for a woman's place in the male-dominated medical field. For the first time ever, Women in White Coats tells the complete history of these three pioneering women who, despite countless obstacles, earned medical degrees and paved the way for other women to do the same. Though very different in personality and circumstance, together these women built women-run hospitals and teaching colleges - creating for the first time medical care for women by women. With gripping storytelling based on extensive research and access to archival documents, Women in White Coats tells the courageous history these women made by becoming doctors, detailing the boundaries they broke of gender and science to reshape how we receive medical care today.

Book Synopsis Lives of Scottish Women by : William Knox
Download or read book Lives of Scottish Women written by William Knox and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the remarkable stories of ten women whose inspirational lives and struggles exemplify the concerns and problems that other women have faced throughout the last two centuries. Each is the subject of a chapter devoted to her particular story and the times in which she lived. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries witnessed great changes in women's position in Scotland, and yet little is known about the achievements of the Scottish women who were the main agents of these changes. In presenting the life stories of ten women, William Knox provides evidence of the huge contribution made by women to the shaping of modern Scotland. At the same time he shows how the life histories of individuals can reveal previously dark corners of historical understanding and allow a more nuanced picture of Scottish society as a whole. Subjects include Jane Welsh Carlyle, brilliantly gifted, but married to the wayward and demanding Thomas, Sophia Jex-Blake, Scotland's first female doctor, and Mary Slessor,
Book Synopsis Sophia Jex-Blake by : Shirley Roberts
Download or read book Sophia Jex-Blake written by Shirley Roberts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-09-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sophia Jex-Blake led the campaign that won for British women the right to enter the medical profession. Before taking up this cause she had studied women's education in England, Germany and the United states, and rejected the popular contemporary view that higher education would be wasted on women. Her medical crusade in Britain resulted in women's rights to professional careers and financial independence being more widely accepted. After years of extensive lobbying, she founded the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874 and two years later, largely due to her efforts, legislation was passed enabling women to take qualifying examinations in medicine. Shirley Roberts shows Sophia Jex-Blake to have been a determined and resourceful pioneer, skilful in winning over both public and political opinion. But she was also an impetuous and at times tactless woman, who could provoke hostility, as well as loyalty. Sophia Jex-Blake is a fascinating account of one woman's struggle for equality.
