    [synopsis] => Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910) was a British physician. She was first woman to study medicine at university in the United States, as well as the first to be put on the Medical Register of the General Medical Council. She was a key reformer in both the United States and the United Kingdom who pioneered the education of women in medicine. Blackwell also played an important role as an organiser of nurses during the American Civil War. Her most notable works include: "The Causes and Treatment of Typhus, or Shipfever" (1949), "The Laws of Life with Special Reference to the Physical Education of Girls" (1952), and "An Appeal in Behalf of the Medical Education of Women" (1856).
