Join featured author, Janice P. Nimura and Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, author of "Dr. Mütter's Marvels" for a virtual discussion about Janice's new book "The Doctors Blackwell: How Two Pioneering Sisters Brought Medicine to Women-and Women to Medicine"!
THE DOCTORS BLACKWELL is about the first female doctors in the US--sisters Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell, who, in 1857, also founded the very first hospital staffed by women, the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children. A section of the book is, of course, based in Philadelphia given the city's prominence in early (and existing!) US medicine. Nimura brings history alive on the page to thrilling effect, creating an extraordinary work of feminist, medical, and New York/U.S. history.
