Little New-Yorkers: Who Says Women Can’T Be Doctors: the Story of Elizabeth Blackwell

Happy Women’s History Month! Today we are reading Who Says Women Can’t Be Doctors, written by Tanya Lee Stone and illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. When Elizabeth Blackwell decided she wanted to become a doctor in the 1940s, many people believed that women could not, and even should not, be doctors. But Elizabeth stayed true to herself, and became the first female doctor in the United States! After the story, make your own doctor’s bag craft! Join us every Tuesday and Friday at the Museum for story time and crafts! Each class includes a special hello song, silly dances and games, a story book reading, and a craft to do after the story.
