Important to know about these trailblazing sisters who overcame total blockage by the establishment, followed by limited educational and professional acceptance, then a modicum of respect. Interesting that toward the end, the establishment medical schools were promoting themselves on the basis of principles espoused by the Blackwells a half-century before. The same old story concerning pioneers: First they are blocked, then they are ridiculed, then begrudgingly accepted, then eventually imitated.
