Sophia Jex-Blake: A Woman Pioneer in Nineteenth Century Medical Reform (Wellcome Institute Series in the History of Medicine) Book

This fascinating biography examines the life and work of Sophia Jex-Blake, leader of the campaign for British women's right to enter the medical professions. Her initial pioneering work in Germany and the United States as well as her crusade in Britain brought about women's access to higher education, professional careers and financial independence.After years of extensive lobbying, Jex-Blake founded the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874 and two years later due to her efforts, legislation was passed enabling women to take qualifying examinations in medicine.
