“Lizzie, there’s a letter for you!” Emily called up the stairs to her sister. Lizzie looked down. “Is it from Harvard? They refused my application（申请）once.” Emily answered, “No, it’s from Yale.” Quickly, Lizzie walked downstairs. She took the letter and opened it. “Rejected again,” Lizzie said unhappily. “Who says women can’t be doctors?”

　 “They are fools not to accept you. You can’t let them stop you, Lizzie,” Emily said.

“I won’t. I’ll apply to Geneva Medical College,” Lizzie told her sister. As it turned out, the professors at Geneva Medical College were not fools. They allowed Lizzie Blackwell to study medicine.

In 1848, a year before Lizzie would graduate, a typhoid epidemic (伤寒流行病) broke out in New York. Lizzie wrote to Emily. “There’s an outbreak (爆发) of typhoid, and I am going to help. It is dangerous, so if I die, please do me the honor of studying medicine yourself.”

Emily replied, “Encouraged by your dream and success, I have decided to study in medical school, as well.”

Having survived the disease, Lizzie tried to set up a private medical practice. “I graduated first in my class but no one believes a woman can be a good doctor,” she said to Emily one day. “All I hear is that doctors should be men, while women should stay home to cook and clean.”

Emily said worriedly, “I will graduate in June with my medical degree. What shall we do?” Lizzie thought for a while and replied, “There’s a big house in the poor part of our town. We can provide medicine there for people who couldn’t afford care.”

Soon with the help of some friends, Lizzie and Emily bought the house and opened a hospital for poor women and children. “We’ll have an all-women staff (员工),” Lizzie said. “And later, we’ll set up a medical college for women!” Emily added. At last, Lizzie realized her dream of being a doctor.
