Women’s History Month
1. Elizabeth Blackwell—The first woman in America to receive a medical degree—championed women's participation in the medical profession and ultimately opened her own medical college for women.
2. Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first Black woman in the United States to earn a medical degree. She graduated from New England Female Medical College in 1864, during the American Civil War.
3. Susan LaFlesche Picotte, MD (1865-1915): Devoted to healing Native Americans. When she was young, Susan LaFlesche Picotte saw a Native American woman die because a white doctor refused to care for her. Years later, Picotte would become the first Native American woman in the United States to earn a medical degree.
4. Joycelyn Elders, MD (1933-): First African American surgeon general, 1993-1994. In 1996, she wrote her autobiography, Joycelyn Elders, M.D.: From Sharecropper's Daughter to Surgeon General of the United States of America. Now retired from practice, she is a professor emeritus at the University of Arkansas School of Medicine and remains active in public health education.
5. Marie Curie: The only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences. A Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist, was a pioneer in radioactivity research. Her discoveries transformed medicine and radiology, and paved the way for advancements in biology, engineering, and medicine. Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, receiving the Physics award in 1903 and the Chemistry award in 1911.
6. Florence Nightingale revolutionized nursing in the mid-19th-century. During her time aiding British soldiers during the Crimean war in Turkey, Nightingale improved sanitary conditions so drastically that mortality rates decreased from 40 percent to 2 percent. Her improvements were adopted by hospitals around Britain.
7. Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross in 1880 after her work tending to soldiers on both sides during the American Civil War. Barton also established the National First Aid Association of America which raised awareness around emergency preparedness and developed first aid kits.
Dame Cicely Mary Strode Saunders was an English nurse, social worker, physician, and writer. She is noted for her work in terminal care research and her role in the birth of the hospice movement. She emphasised the importance of palliative care in modern medicine and opposed the legalisation of voluntary euthanasia.
