Who Says Women Can't Be Doctors? by Tanya Lee Stone and Marjorie Priceman

I’ll bet you’ve met plenty of doctors in your life. And I’ll bet lots of them were women. Well, you might find this hard to believe, but there once was a time when girls weren’t allowed to become doctors.

Thus begins this delightful and inspiring story. The person who changed this inherent sexism, in America at least, was a feisty and brave young woman called Elizabeth Blackwell, and this is her tale. Engaging and immediately captivating, this book has plenty of fun moments for young readers while also conveying an important message about determination and overcoming prejudice. The illustrations by Marjorie Priceman are vibrant and beautifully evocative.

Highly recommended for curious readers aged 4 and up.
