For one thing, she was the first American woman to ever receive a medical degree: she became a doctor in 1849. She devoted her life to helping other women to gain an education and to become more informed about health-related issues. She founded the New York Infirmary in 1857, a school where women could get the medical training that other schools refused to give them (most colleges back then still denied women admission). In addition to training women to become doctors, she and the staff at her hospital gave medical treatment to those who were too poor to pay for it. Elizabeth Blackwell also published several important books, including Medicine as a Profession For Women in 1860 and Address on the Medical Education of Women in 1864.
