Women in white coats : how the first women doctors changed the world of medicine / Olivia Campbell. by Campbell, Olivia. Park Row Books, 2021. Call #: 610.922 C189w Subjects Blackwell, Elizabeth, 1821-1910.   Anderson, Elizabeth Garrett, 1836-1917.   Jex-Blake, Sophia, 1840-1912.   Women physicians -- Great Britain -- Biography.   Women physicians -- Biography.   Medicine -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century.   Medicine -- History -- 19th century. ISBN:  9780778389392 (hc.) Description:  361 p. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-350) and index. Summary:  "In the early 1800s, women were dying in large numbers from treatable diseases because they avoided receiving medical care. Examinations performed by male doctors were often demeaning and even painful. In addition, women faced stigma from illness--a diagnosis could greatly limit their ability to find husbands, jobs or be received in polite society. 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. With gripping storytelling based on extensive research and access to archival documents, 'Women in white coats' tells the courageous history these women made by becoming doctors, detailing the boundaries they broke of gender and science to reshape how we receive medical care today."
