  • 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.

    ARTICLE VI. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION AND SOCIETY. BY GEORGE C.

Accidental violence, sickness, death, are impending over all ; no one knows how soon or how suddenly he may be overtaken by them. The strongest may not wisely glory in his strength and despise means and appliances of support, relief or cure. The agents of disease, decay and death beset the path of all in every period of existence. The foetus in the womb, and the old man in his last struggle to maintain existence, are alike the subjects of our care. Strong and weak, rich and poor, high and low, have a concern in our doings and sayings * At an Adjourned Meeting of the Mass. Medical Society, held Oct. 8, 1860, it was Resolved, " That the Massachusetts Medical Society hereby declares that it does not consider itself JiS having endorsed or censured the opinions in former published Annual Discourses, nor will it hold itself responsible for any opinions or sentiments advanced in any future similar discourses."
