Review Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and the Heroic First Women To
Review Neurosciences and History 2019; 7(1): 26-40 Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and the heroic first women to access medical schools R. Belvís1, D. Momblán2 1Headache and neuralgia unit, Neurology Department. Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, Spain. 2Gastrointestinal surgery department. IMDM, Hospital Clínic, Barcelona, Spain. ABSTRACT Introduction. In the 19th century the first women were allowed to receive formal medical training at universities, after a long-fought battle characterised by deception, ploys, misunderstandings, and aggression. These women had to overcome numerous hurdles before they were able to qualify and begin practice as physicians, and very few were successful. Development. This article reviews the history of women’ s inclusion in the practice of medicine from antiquity to the 19th century, and focuses on a woman who perfectly illustrates the social transgression sparked by her and her contemporaries around the world, who dared to follow their calling, medicine, in a misogynistic society. This woman, Dr Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, became the first woman to practise medicine in Great Britain after a bitter fight against the academic and medical establishment, also becoming the first woman to hold a mayor’ s office in Britain and the first to earn a doctorate in France. Garrett was a pioneer of British feminism, setting her medical prestige at the head of the women’ s suffrage movement. While she cannot be considered a neurologist, her doctoral thesis was one of the first in history to deal with migraine. We performed a comprehensive search of the MEDLINE database and on history web pages. Conclusions. Elizabeth Garrett and her contemporaries transgressed the societal norms of their day and brought about the beginning of the progressive normalisation of women’ s admission to medical schools and to universities in general. -

Biographies of 19th Century Doctors and Scientists Please choose at least one of the following 19th century Doctors and Scientists to include in your story. Below are short biographies on each person, followed by a link to its source, where you can learn more about his/her history and background. Elizabeth Blackwell Elizabeth Blackwell was born to a wealthy family in Bristol, England in 1821. Due to financial hardship, the family moved from England to New York, New York, Jersey City, New Jersey, and finally Cincinnati, Ohio in 1838. Elizabeth’s father passed away soon after, and she and her sisters opened a private school. Elizabeth studied medicine privately while she was teaching, learning from sympathetic physicians. All the schools she applied to rejected her application, save for Geneva Medical College, what would become Hobart College, in Geneva, New York. Though she was ostracized and sometimes barred from demonstrations, she graduated first of her class in 1849 as a Doctor of Medicine, the first woman in modern history to do so. Dr. Blackwell was also famous for opening the New York Infirmary for Women and Children with her sister, Dr. Emily Blackwell, helping to organize the U.S Sanitary Commission during the Civil War, and opening the Women’s Medical College in the Infirmary. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Elizabeth- Blackwell George Washington Carver George Washington Carver was born into slavery in the 1860s, and his true date of birth was never known. He and his mother were owned by the Carver family in Diamond Grove, Missouri, and when both George and his mother were kidnapped from the Carver Plantation, only George was found.
