she was the first woman to become a doctor in the U.S. She became the first female doctor in 1849 and her only surviving sibling, Emily raised money to open a hospital especially for women and children. It opened in 1857 and of course, it was run by women doctors. Blackwell also built on her success by opening a college for women in 1868.

Blackwell also had an impact on the women's rights, in the growing movement for women's right to vote.
