When she graduated from New York's Geneva Medical College in 1849, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell (1821–1910) became the first woman to earn an MD degree from an American medical school. She supported medical education for women and helped many other women's careers. By establishing the New York Infirmary in 1857, she offered a practical solution to one of the problems facing qualified women who were rejected from internships and training opportunities elsewhere because of their gender.

Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831–1895) challenged the racist beliefs that prevented African Americans from pursuing careers in medicine. She graduated from the New England Female Medical College in 1864 to become the first African American woman in the United States to earn an MD degree. Although little has survived to tell the story of Crumpler's life, she has secured her place in the historical record with her book of medical advice for women and children, published in 1883.

Influences of Parent Involvement in Middle and High School
Research has demonstrated that parent influence and involvement have a large impact on the lives of their children. Parents are the most important source of their children’s goals and careers and can provide a positive or a negative impact in their children’s future. Although parent involvement is critical for child development, nevertheless, it is highly crucial during the middle and high school years. Parents who support their children through monitoring and providing warm affection help create a strong connection with their children and cause positive school engagement. Although parents can be a positive role model for their children, they can also be a negative influence on children, causing them to decline in their school engagement due to lack of monitoring, parent connection, and support. This paper will review 20 empirical studies that support the influences of parent involvement in middle school and high school years. Some studies find that parents who give their child warm affect help create a positive and caring relationship between the parent and the child, others find that psychological distress will create negative emotions, psychological health, behavior patterns and can result to physical illness for the child. This is my senior project for child development, and I find this particular topic to be both interesting and a necessary factor to help with the understanding of child development. I wish to learn more about parent involvement and how they help shape and influence a child’s life either positively or negatively.

Coloring in the Lines: Locating Race
This study seeks to limn out the extent to which Hemingway’s fiction and nonfiction expresses concerns with race. Scholars who have written about Hemingway and race speak from two camps: those who say that Hemingway rhetorically “others” people of color to evade racial issues a VERONICA ARANDA I received my Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Art, Education, and English in 2017 from SDSU and would like to keep expanding my love for art to other areas and decided to further my education. I heard about the MALAS program through a friend, did some research, and t International award given by the BBC 100 Women is a BBC multi-format series established in 2013. The annual series examines the role of women in the 21st century and has included events in London and Mexico. Announcement of the list is the start of an international "BBC's women season", lasting three weeks including broadcast, online reports, debates and journalism on the topic of women. Women around the world are encouraged to participate via social media and comment on the list, as well as on the interviews and debates that follow release of the list. After the 2012 Delhi gang rape, then BBC Controller Liliane Landor, BBC editor Fiona Crack and other journalists, were inspired to create a series focusing on the issues and achievements of women in society today. They felt that many of the issues women faced were not getting in-depth coverage, and in March 2013 a "flood of feedback from female listeners" was received by the BBC to the effect that the corporation should provide more "content from and about women." The BBC launched this series in 2013 to address the under-representation of women in the media. Women to participate in the first programme were chosen by survey in 26 different language services. Programming ran over the course of a month, culminating in a conference held on 25 October, in which 100 women from across the world discussed issues they shared. A wide range of topics were debated covering employment challenges, feminism, motherhood, and religion, to examine both the cultural and social challenges women faced in livi
