In early days no medical college took a woman student. Elizabeth Blackwell, however, was determined to become a doctor.

Then one day, to her surprise, she got a letter from the dean of a college in Geneva, which said YES.

Of the rest, some considered the young American’s idea interesting and some thought by having Elizabeth they would be proud of their college training the world’s first woman doctor.

Tet in Viet Nam starts with the first new moon, usually in late January or early February. The celebrations usually last for three days.
