Sophia Louisa Jex-Blake, was an English physician, educator, and feminist. She was the head of the campaign to ensure women's access to a university education. She led this campaign when she and six other women, the Edinburgh Seven, started studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh in 1869. Jex-Blake was the first practicing female doctor in Scotland. She was a prominent campaigner for medical education for women and was responsible for establishing two medical schools for women in London and Edinburgh. It was a revolutionary step when no other medical schools agreed to train women, and it was a profession only to be pursued by men. This work presents an accurate account of the life of this great woman. It contains every detail of her life. The author starts by making the readers familiar with her childhood and school days and then moves forward to her inspiring fight for women's right to medical education.
