The Doctors Blackwell: How Two Pioneering Sisters Brought Medicine to Women and Women to Medicine by Janice P. Nimura

3.0

It felt like I was reading a really really long Wikipedia article. I learnt a lot about the brilliant and accomplished Blackwell sisters but I’d probably never reread this book hence the 3-stars. I wish it was written in a way that inspired women to overcome hurdles and be pioneers in a patriarchal society. Instead, it was presented as just a collection of facts about their lives.
