Celebrating Women’s History Month with CSG Members
In celebration of Women’s History Month, CSG asked its female members to submit some of their most influential women in history who have inspired them in their careers and personal lives.

Elizabeth Blackwell, British physician and the first woman to receive a medical degree in the U.S.
“It is not easy to be a pioneer, but oh, it is fascinating! I would not trade one moment, even the worst moment, for all the riches in the world.” — Elizabeth Blackwell
From Dr. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, Oregon state senator:
“The inspirational woman I think of instantly is Elizabeth Blackwell, who was the first woman to attend medical school in the United States. Reading about her was very inspiring to a young Elizabeth who also hoped to become a physician!”
