DYK #ElizabethBlackwell, the first woman to earn a medical degree, also furthered the Christian campaign against #SoloSex? She blamed servants for leading astray innocent middle- & upper-class kids by teaching them how to do it.

It's not as venerable, nor as mysteriously bound. But, for me, of great interest is Newcastle's copy of #ACuriousHerbal, 18thC by #ElizabethBlackwell.

According to #ACuriousHerbal, these little blooms belong to a plant called Mouse Ears. I'm over the moon to see them thriving on neglect in the front garden. #ElizabethBlackwell #botany #herbal

Elizabeth Blackwell, shown in a black-and-white portrait, was America’s first licensed woman doctor. "#FamousScientists" appears above with logos in the corners.

Elizabeth Blackwell became America’s first licensed woman doctor despite being accepted into medical school as a joke! 🌟 She went on to open a clinic and founded a medical college for women. #FamousScientists #WomenInMedicine #ElizabethBlackwell

Over the moon to have had my proposal accepted & looking forward to presenting my paper on #ElizabethBlackwell & 'A Curious Herbal in London's Early Modern commercial book market'. #ACuriousHerbal

In 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first U.S. woman to earn a medical degree, proving women belonged in medicine. Today, gender bias still exists in healthcare. How do we keep pushing forward?

Bristol is the birthplace of Dr Elizabeth Blackwell MD. Every now & then I pop by her home. Glad to see the graffiti gone. She was the first woman to receive a medical degree in the US. #ElizabethBlackwell #WomeninMedicine

I voted for Southmead Hospital to be named after Dr Elizabeth Blackwell, a shame it wasn’t. But here’s to her.

To the many enslaved women who passed through our city, you are not forgotten.

Last year on #IWD2018 I breakfasted with some amazing #NBT women @young_andrea @rachelafielding. Today I’m in bed post ICU night shift.

I would not be a doctor without pioneering women like Bristol’s own #ElizabethBlackwell #InternationalWomensDay
