The First Woman Doctor

In early days no medical(医科的)college took a woman student. Elizabeth Blackwell, however, was determined to become a doctor. The young American wrote again and again to a number of medicalcolleges, asking if she could be enrolled(录取), but each time the answer was NO.

Then one day, to her surprise, she got a letter from the president of a college in Geneva(日内瓦), which said YES.

At first Geneva College, like the other colleges, was not willing to enroll Liza. But later the important people of that college learned that Liza's application(申请)had the support of a famous doctor, and they were afraid to offend(得罪)that.
