Elizabeth Blackwell

This Quotations Archive contains words from famous and some not so famous people who have expressed a sense of love, compassion, and respect for all of God's creation: for people, for animals, and for the environment. They speak of our teaching methods and philosophy. They speak of a lifestyle of non-violence. They seek to eliminate cruelty and suffering. They seek to wake us up. They seek to give us hope.

M.D. (On January 11, 1849, she became the first woman to earn a medical degree in the United States, and graduated first in her class. Her sister Emily was the second woman graduate in medicine.)
