A Roman legion (from Latin legio "military levy, conscription", from legere "to choose") was the largest unit of the Roman army involving from 3000 men in early times to over 5200 men in imperial times, consisting of centuries as the basic units. Until the middle of the first century, 10 cohorts (about 5,000 men) made up a Roman Legion. This was later changed to nine cohorts of standard size (with 6 centuries at 80 men each) and one cohort, the first cohort, of double strength (5 double-strength centuries with 160 men each).
In the early Roman Kingdom the "legion" may have meant the entire Roman army but sources on this period are few and unreliable. The subsequent organization of legions varied greatly over time but legions were typically composed of around five thousand soldiers, divided during the republican era into three lines of ten maniples, and from about 100 BC into ten cohorts. Legions also included a small ala or cavalry unit. By the third century AD, the legion was a much smaller unit of about 1,000 to 1,500 men, and there were more of them. In the fourth century AD, East Roman border guard legions (limitanei) may have become even smaller.
For most of the Roman Imperial period, the legions formed the Roman army's elite heavy infantry, recruited exclusively from Roman citizens, while the remainder of the army consisted of auxiliaries, who provided additional infantry and the vast majority of the Roman army's cavalry. (Provincials who aspired to citizenship gained it when honourably discharged from the auxiliaries). The Roman army, for most of the Imperial period, consisted mostly of auxiliaries rather than legions. :) hope this helps you out

Explanation:
Elizabeth Blackwell was born on February 3, 1821 in Bristol, England, but moved to the United States in 1831 along with her family. Elizabeth was the first woman who managed to practice a medical profession in the United States, which is why she is considered an example of the struggle for female emancipation.
It should be noted that the impulse that led her to want to be a doctor was the death of a friend, who before dying of a terminal illness told Blackwell that she wished she had been treated by a woman. This event marked her life and the idea of being a doctor emerged in her, so she sent letters of request to all the universities of New York and Pennsylvania, without receiving a response.
After ten universities rejected her application, she was admitted to Geneva Medical College (New York) and on January 11, 1849 she became the first woman to receive a medical degree in medicine in the United States.
