520    "The vivid biography of two pioneering sisters who, 
       together, became America's first female doctors and 
       transformed New York's medical establishment by creating a
       hospital by and for women. Elizabeth Blackwell believed 
       from an early age that she was destined for greatness 
       beyond the scope of "ordinary" womanhood. Though the world
       recoiled at the notion of a woman studying medicine, her 
       intelligence and intensity won her the acceptance of the 
       all-male medical establishment and in 1849 she became the 
       first woman in America to receive a medical degree. But 
       Elizabeth's story is incomplete without her often 
       forgotten sister, Emily, the third woman in America to 
       receive a medical degree. Exploring the sisters' allies, 
       enemies and enduring partnership, Nimura presents a story 
       of both trial and triumph: Together the sisters founded 
       the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, 
       the first hospital staffed entirely by women. Both sisters
       were tenacious and visionary; they were also judgmental, 
       uncompromising, and occasionally misogynistic--their 
       convictions as 19th-century women often contradicted their
       ambitions. From Bristol, England, to the new cities of 
       antebellum America, this work of rich history follows the 
       sister doctors as they transform the nineteenth century 
       medical establishment and, in turn, our contemporary one"-
