Question

4.

Answer 1

Answer: A.  to help people stay healthy

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.
