She revolutionized the role of nursing by creating a system for transcribing doctors’ orders and patient’s records. She made many contributions to nursing research and was politically active to affect the reform of health care. She was not just an “Order Taker”, she was a patient advocate. Patient Advocate Advocacy is the heart and soul of nursing. I look at nurses as like moms.
This paper will discuss a professional nursing organization in the nursing industry addressing a particular current political issue through the organization. In addition the discussion will review how nurse leaders can use professional organizations to maintain the awareness of political actions in the nursing and health care industry and why this is important for the nursing profession.

Blackwell masterfully employs many methods to motivate the women receiving the address to pursue medicine. Initially in the letter, Blackwell alludes to the 3000 female physicians that exist in the US and the how it is becoming increasingly easy to become a female physician. By comparing the situation in the US, Blackwell is able to portray a sense of hope and possibility within female physicians in Great Britain and inspiring the students to pursue medicine and to be the pioneers in Great Britain for this movement. “There is no career nobler than that of a physician” (page 283). This statement used by Blackwell can be especially motivating for women.

In 1845, New York began the trend of slapping legal consequences for women who have abortions. By 1965, all 50 states had outlawed abortion (Abortion ProCon.org). Eight years later, the Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade overturned state legislations on the grounds that denying anyone’s right to choose is certainly unconstitutional. One primary argument used by the pro-choice team in favor of abortion is that women have their fundamental right to choose, and the illegalization of abortion would be a direct threat to that right. As briefly mentioned above, the ruling of the Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade clearly sided with pro-choice activists.
They made great contributions in science in what historians recognize as the rebirth of the science in the first centuries of the Middle Ages. Of all these women whose work contributed especially in the fields of gynecology and obstetrics, emphasizes Trotula of Salerno who, with her own researches, studies and knowledge of Medicine of Hippocrates and Galen, has placed in a privileged place in the field of science. Little it is what we know about the life of Trotula.

Some have identified her as Dr Johannes Platerius’ wife, and Matthias and Johannes the younger’s mother.

Women began speaking and lecturing in the 1830s on equality and right to vote. Sarah Grimke and Frances Wright advocated women's suffrage in an extensive series of lectures. Sarah Grimke spoke with a concise confidence responding to a newspaper, “All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from our necks, and permit us to stand upright on the ground which God has designed us to occupy.” (Chafe 25) “[Also Grimke wrote that] like blacks women were ‘accused of mental inferiority’ and were refused the opportunity for a decent education. Denied the basic rights of free speech and petition, they were also treated as creatures not able to care for themselves.” (Chafe 45) Oberlin College became the first coeducational college in
