．Elizabeth had great trouble in finding a school to attend. No medical school would accept a woman student. So she studied by herself at first. She was helped by a few doctors who did believe that women should have the same chance to work as men did.

In 1847 she asked to be accepted at a small medical school in New York. Largely as a joke, the school accepted her. The teachers and students were all men. They waited for Elizabeth to make a fool on herself and then go away. But Elizabeth felt she could learn anything a man could learn. And she proved it. No one laughed at her. The jokes stopped. But none of the town-people would speak to her. They thought she was wrong to study medicine.

As a student, Elizabeth helped treat sick poor people during her summer holidays. She found out that she had much more to learn as she tried to help them. "I must learn more." She said. "There is so much work to be done among the sick. Somehow I must get other women to help me!"

That autumn she returned to school. Elizabeth Blackwell became a doctor in 1849.She was the first woman in the United States to become a doctor.
