Listen to the biography of Elizabeth Blackwell, America's first woman doctor of medicine. Find out if your predictions were right.

On January, 23,1849, the Geneva School of Medicine in the state ofNew Yorkheld a graduation ceremony that made history. Normally only close friends and family used to come to the graduation ceremony. But on this occasion the hall where ceremonies took place was crowded with spectators, because everybody wanted to see Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman ever to receive a medical degree.

Elizabeth was born in 1821. Her father was a businessman who believed that his daughters should have as good education as his sons. When the girl was 13 she already made her decision to become a doctor. But all her requests to teach her medicine were rejected. Then Elizabeth convinced several doctors to teach her privately.

When their family moved to the state of New York she was allowed to attend classes at the small medical college in Geneva.

Those were difficult years. Two years later, nevertheless, Elizabeth Blackwell graduated at the head of her class. She wanted to become a surgeon and she sailed for Paris. She hoped to study there. But no French school or doctor would agree to teach a woman.

THE VALUABLE FENCE

After H. A. Smith

The Greggs were coming back from their first trip to Europe. On board the "Queen Elizabeth" they got acquainted with a Frenchman. The Frenchman told the Greggs that he was an artist and his name was Lautisse. Then they talked to the ship's librarian and found out that their new friend wasthe world's famous artist whose pictures were very valuable and expensive. Lautisse was going to spend a month in New York. Mrs. Gregg invited him to come to their place for the weekend. At the appointed time Lautisse arrived at the Greggs' and they were happy to see him.

The next morning Mr. Gregg got up very early as he wanted to paint the fence around the vegetable garden. He took a brush and was about to begin painting when Lautisse approached him. As soon as he saw the brush, he seized it from Mr. Gregg and began painting the fence.

The fence turned out to be a valuable thing. It was sold for a big sum of money, and taken to a museum.
