Sophia Jex-Blake was a pioneering English physician, teacher, and feminist who championed women’s access to university education. She was part of the Edinburgh Seven, a group of women who studied medicine in 1869, leading the way for female medical practitioners. As the first practicing female doctor in Scotland, she tirelessly advocated for women’s medical education.

Her legacy as a trailblazer in the medical field remains a source of inspiration for many.
