Ann Preston & Emeline Horton Cleveland: That’s right, we discovered two more “bonus” women in medicine to share today! Ann Preston was the first female dean of a medical college, serving at Women’s Medical College of Philadelphia (where several of our “Women Worth Knowing” studied!). She sent her colleague Emeline Horton Cleveland to Europe as one of the earliest female students in obstetrics and gynecology. When Emeline returned, she and Ann worked together at the women’s hospital and medical school. These women were such close associates and friends that they are buried next to each other!
