520    "In the early 1800s, women were dying in large numbers 
       from treatable diseases because they avoided receiving 
       medical care. Examinations performed by male doctors were 
       often demeaning and even painful. In addition, women faced
       stigma from illness—a diagnosis could greatly limit their 
       ability to find husbands, jobs or be received in polite 
       society. Motivated by personal loss and frustration over 
       inadequate medical care, Elizabeth Blackwell, Elizabeth 
       Garrett Anderson and Sophia Jex-Blake fought for a woman’s
       place in the male-dominated medical field. For the first 
       time ever, Women in White Coats tells the complete history
       of these three pioneering women who, despite countless 
       obstacles, earned medical degrees and paved the way for 
       other women to do the same. Though very different in 
       personality and circumstance, together these women built 
       women-run hospitals and teaching colleges—creating for the
       first time medical care for women by women."--Dust jacket.
