A New and Untried Course: Women's Medical College and Medical College of Pennysylvania, 1850-1998
Steve J Peitzman
Before 1850, the field of medicine was closed to women. In 1850, a group of radical reformist male Quaker physicians founded the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania to offer formal medical training to women. This book explores the lives and the work of those first medical students.
