There was a strong Christian element in the motivation of
the pioneers of medical education for women. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first
woman doctor, was a Quaker, while Elizabeth Garrett came from a very devout
family. Ann Clark, another Quaker, was the first woman surgeon and worked at
the Women's Hospital and the Children's Hospital in Birmingham. Sophia
Jex-Blake, another devout Christian, founded the London School of Medicine for
Women, while Clara Swain was the first woman doctor to go overseas (to Asia) as
a medical missionary.
Mar
12:29 Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our
God, the Lord is one.
Mar
12:30 And
you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your mind and with all your strength.'
Mar 12:31 The second is this:
'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment
greater than these."
