Sophia Jex-Blake (1840-1912) led a long and difficult struggle to open the medical profession to women in Great Britain.

She became licensed at the age of 37 and opened a private practice in Scotland the following year, becoming the country's first female doctor. Her tenacious fight for women to have the right to become doctors opened the door for women in the medical profession.
