“Elizabeth Blackwell: First Woman Physician” (CLICK HERE for it)

This 2005 book on Elizabeth Blackwell by Tristan Boyer Binns is written for school-age readers and does touch on her faith life, but it also unflinchingly discusses health problems in the nineteenth century, including Blackwell’s eye infection, contagious diseases, problems related to sexual health and disease, and so forth. (CLICK HERE to continue).

This book is among the Faith and Science entries for younger readers. CLICK HERE for more.


The Faith and Science pages (F&S) are a unique resource on the web. The material in F&S is stuff that you will find nowhere else (or at least not without a lot of digging). Featured areas on F&S include “History of Church and Science”; “Church and Science Today”; “Science and Scripture”; “Science, Religion & Society”; “Life in the Universe”; “Cosmology”; and more. The level of the F&S material ranges from being accessible to all audiences, with even some material oriented toward young readers, up to material for university specialists.

The F&S pages, like this blog, are made possible by the Vatican Observatory Foundation (the Vatican Observatory’s US operation that operates the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope, or VATT, in Arizona). CLICK HERE to support the F&S pages, this blog, and the operation of the VATT.
