Quote by Florence Nightingale
Instead of wishing to see more doctors made by women joining what there are, I wish to see as few doctors, either male or female, as possible. For, mark you, the women have made no improvement -- they have only tried to be men and they have only succeeded in being third-rate men.
Summary
This quote seems to express a perspective that is critical of women entering the field of medicine. The author argues against an increase in the number of doctors, regardless of their gender, suggesting that women who strive to become doctors are merely attempting to emulate men. Additionally, the quote implies that these women have failed in this pursuit, ultimately becoming inferior versions of their male counterparts.
