Elizabeth Blackwell (February 3, 1821 – May 31, 1910) was the first female doctor in the United States. She was the first known woman to graduate from medical school (M.D.). She was a pioneer in medical education for women, and was prominent in the women's rights movement.

Her female education guide was published in Spain, as was her autobiography.

In 1856 she adopted Katherine "Kitty" Barry, an orphan of Irish origin who was her companion for the rest of her life.
