    Wonderful to see her as a young woman! Very stylish 1840-50s dress she's wearing. Although born and died in the UK, she spent a lot of her years in the United States where she did so much to advance medical opportunity and care for women. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Blackwell

    I think this is mislabeled. It's thought to be a daguerreotype of Lucy Stone.
