Elizabeth Blackwell - Audacious Woman

Elizabeth is part of the Audacious Women project by Wifie, a women's photography group that I belong to. Statues of audacious women from the past were created from models at a photography workshop and exhibited at various locations in Edinburgh on 8th March for International Women's Day. You will need to hurry to see them - they are liable to disappear at any moment! You can find Elizabeth at Napier's Dispensary in Bristo Place.
