Question

How does the author support the idea that Elizabeth’s father influenced her future career as a doctor?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell's father influenced her future career as a doctor. Both for financial reasons and because her father wanted to help abolish slavery, the family moved to America when Elizabeth was 11 years old. Her father,  Samuel Blackwell, influenced her life as a doctor because her father exerted a positive and caring attitude towards his children. He rejected punishing his children physically. Instead, their misdemeanors were written down and added up. He also wanted to help abolish slavery and he was very positive. He wished to help people and make it equal for everyone. Elizabeth was probably influenced by his positivity and outlook on the world.
