Who Says Women Can't Be Doctors is an empowering, uplifting story, not only to motivate children to pursue their dreams, but also to instill hope in the new generation. This picture book is based on a true story about a woman named Elizabeth Blackwell who saw past gender stereotypes, challenging society's quota to become a doctor during a time when women in the workforce was frowned upon. Lee Stone uses playful images to illustrate a sense of capacity-building confidence for a brighter future for women today.
