Autorenporträt
Sophia Jex-Blake (1840-1912) was a seminal figure in the medical profession, known for being one of the first female doctors in the United Kingdom and a leading campaigner for medical education for women. She was a pioneer who faced considerable opposition in her quest to pursue a career in medicine. Born in Hastings, England, Jex-Blake was educated initially at home, later attending various private schools. Fueled by a determination to see women enter the medical profession, she fought entrenched sexism to gain her own education and subsequently to open the medical field to other women. Her struggles were documented in her book 'Medical Women' (1886), which helped to lay the groundwork for subsequent generations of female doctors and remains a critical historical text on the subject. It not only chronicled her experiences but also those of other pioneering medical women of the time. Jex-Blake's literary style reflects her forthrightness and commitment to social reform; she wrote with a clear, analytical approach, often focusing on exposing inequalities and advocating for women's rights in the medical profession. Her legacy is substantial, having founded two medical schools for women, and her life's work significantly shaped the path for women in medicine.
