"Women in White Coats: How the First Women Doctors Changed the World of Medicine" by Olivia Campbell

"In the early 1800s, women were dying in large numbers from treatable diseases because they avoided receiving medical care. Motivated by personal loss and frustration over inadequate medical care, Elizabeth Blackwell, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Sophia Jex-Blake fought for a woman's place in the male-dominated medical field. For the first time ever, Women in White Coats tells the complete history of these three pioneering women who, despite countless obstacles, earned medical degrees and paved the way for other women to do the same. Though very different in personality and circumstance, together these women built women-run hospitals and teaching colleges - creating for the first time medical care for women by women." - NoveList Plus
