Read the excerpt from "Elizabeth Blackwell."
Based on this excerpt, what can readers infer about
women's careers during the mid-1800s?
The next day Elizabeth visited an old family friend who had
been practicing medicine for many years. When she told him
of her intentions, Dr. Melton's eyebrows nearly took leave of
his head, but he quickly settled himself and said, "Well, that
is a brilliant idea, Miss Blackwell, but clearly it is an
impossible one."
Women were not permitted to work in any career of their
choice.
Women were not permitted to work with men unless they
were family friends,
Women had to practice medicine for more years than
men had to practice.
O Women had to settle for careers as nurses instead of
doctors.
