She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection forced her to abandon the idea. On returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857, Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another female doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children.
