Elizabeth Blackwell's childhood:

  • Born 03 February 1821 in Bristol, England.
  • She had a governess and was kept close to home.
  • Her father, Samuel Blackwell, was a religious dissenter, so she was not allowed public schooling.
  • Her father hired tutors how educated his daughters in the same subjects boys were educated in.
  • She had 2 older sisters and 6 younger brothers and sisters.
  • At the age of 12, her family moved to New York in America.
  • At the age of 17, her family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio.

She had a pretty good child hood, no violence was involved. For discipline her father would write what she had done and she would sleep in the attic on an empty stomach. Also her parents educated her very well. Her and her sisters ( Maria and Anne) opened up a school to raise money in America when their family business had failed. Thank You and I hope you find some more info If I hadn't answered all your questions.
