In these essays, Jex-Blake advocates for the inclusion of women in medicine, arguing that they possess inherent qualities that make them suitable for the profession. The work highlights historical examples of women's contributions to medicine and discusses the societal obstacles they face in pursuing medical education and practice. At the start of the text, Jex-Blake introduces the idea that customary and biological arguments used to restrict women's participation in medicine need to be critically examined. She challenges the notion that it is unnatural or improper for women to seek careers as medical practitioners, positing that historical precedents exist for women's roles in healing throughout history. The opening sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of women’s potential in medicine, as well as the systemic barriers preventing their entry into the field, underscoring the necessity of reform in medical education and professional norms.
