Fact of the Day: Elizabeth Blackwell worked diligently to gain acceptance for women into traditional medical schools. In 1868, Blackwell established the Women’s Medical College.

In that same year, Blackwell reached an agreement with Cornell University to accept women into their medical school, and transferred her students to the University.
