My significant statue!

A statue (monument) has been created on the campus "Genevea Medical College", which is now Hobart and William Smith College.

The tablet in front of the monument says:
"ELIZABETH BLACKWELL, M.D. / 1821-1910 / Admitted to the Medical School of Geneva (now Hobart) / College in 1847 and graduated, first in her class, two / years later, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first female / physician in the United States. Her life was devoted / to women's and children's health care, reproductive / education, and to opening the medical profession to women".
