Saint Hildegard von Bingen,
b. 1098; Germany
d. 9-17-1179

Saint Hildegard von Bingen was the founder and abbess of Convent of Rupertsberg.

Hildegard von Bingen quotes:
• “We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a HOME. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light.”
• “The earth which sustains humanity must not be injured, it must not be destroyed.”

Elizabeth Blackwell, Digitalis Purpurea, from "Herbarium Blackwellianum," 1757, Giclee Print
Digitalis Purpurea,
from “Herbarium Blackwellianum” 1757, Giclee Print

Elizabeth Blackwell
b. 1700; Aberdeen, Scotland
d. 1758; buried at Chelsea

Elizabeth Blackwell (née Blachrie) is not the Elizabeth Blackwell who earned the first medical degree in the US. This Elizabeth Blackwell was among the first women to achieve fame as a botanical illustrator. As artist and engraver for the plates of A Curious Herbal, designed for physicians as a reference to medicinal plants, she bought her husband's release from debtors prison. (He was there because he squandered her dowry.)
