Mary Elizabeth Garrett: Society and Philanthropy in the Gilded Age
A prominent philanthropist and activist during the Gilded Age, examining her significant contributions to women's education and medical training. It explores her upbringing within the influential Garrett family, deeply connected to Baltimore's commercial ascendancy through the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and details her relationships, including those with her family and the "Friday Night" group of intellectual women. The text highlights her pivotal role in the founding of the Bryn Mawr School for Girls and, most notably, her instrumental financial support and advocacy that led to the coeducational establishment of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Ultimately, it sheds light on Garrett's unwavering dedication to expanding opportunities for women, her battles against societal constraints, and her personal struggles with family and health, culminating in a legacy that reshaped philanthropy and women's roles in society.
