Elizabeth Blackwell and Alice Ball - two women doctors who made history long, long, long before we were born!

Elizabeth Blackwell tried multiple times to get accepted into a medical school in the 1840s only to be finally accepted because everyone thought it was a prank!

Alice Ball, at the age of 23, earned a master's degree from the University of Hawaii and discovered a new treatment for leprosy only to have it stolen from her.  She died mysteriously at the age of 24.

Join Kit and Sherlock as they deep dive into the accomplishments of these two remarkable American women.
