Rebecca Cole & Rebecca Lee Crumpler

Rebecca Cole (1846-1922) & Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831-1895): As we have seen, God empowered many trailblazing women in medicine to overcome insurmountable opposition as a result of their sex. Yet what about women who also had to overcome racial bias? Today we will be looking at two remarkable ladies--a Quaker and a Baptist--who became the first African American woman doctors in spite of enormous antagonism and prejudice. Their grace, patience, and wisdom in the midst of hostility--not to mention their achievements--powerfully attest to the fact that no matter what we face, we can be MORE than conquerors through Him who loves us!
