title: Elizabeth Blackwell: a pioneer female medical graduate.
abstract: This year marks the centenary of the death of Dr Elizabeth Blackwell, who died on 31 May 1910, the first woman in the English-speaking world to qualify as a doctor. She practiced both in England and the USA and did much to encourage, in the face of great opposition, medical training for women in both countries.
