As I started reading this, it soon became apparent that in my snap judgment of whether to request to read this book or not, I'd mistaken the Elizabeth Blackwell in the title for Dr Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female medical doctor on the General Medical Council's register in 1859. No matter, this Elizabeth Blackwell's story is just as interesting. (Continued in comments)

OutsmartYourShelf Overall I enjoyed reading about Elizabeth, even though at times it was infuriating that she was basically the breadwinner but still at the behest of her husband. The narrative kept my attention & I was invested to find out what happened, but some aspects felt underwritten,.......& I thought the ending was rather abrupt. 3.5🌟

My thanks to publishers, Bloodhound Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
