Second Annual Announcement and Catalogue of Students of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania.For the Session 1851

18512970Philadelphia: G.S. Harris 1851. First edition. Very Good . Original blue printed paper wraps printed to front. Some chipping and creasing to edges but overall intact and undamaged despite being quite delicate. Light scattered foxing throughout. Ownership signature of the college's original dean N.R. Mosely struck out at the top of the Faculty list on page 4; pencil ticks next to the names of several students listed in the catalogue on page 6. Exceptionally rare OCLC lists copies of this Announcement at only 2 institutions. Only one year after Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell graduated valedictorian and became the first female M.D. in the U.S. the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania opened its doors. Located in Philadelphia it was the only the second school to open with the mission of training women in medicine -- having been preceded by the New England Female Medical College two years earlier in 1848. Founded by Quaker abolitionist and Underground Railroad activists who believed that women could make exceptional doctors "the college provided rare opportunities for women to teach perform research manage a medical school and with the eventual establishment of the Woman's Hospital in 1861 learn and practice in a hospital setting. It was the longest-lasting all-women medical school in the nation until it became coeducational in 1970" Mandell. The present Announcement predates these growths however showing the roots from which they emerged. One year running and the faculty remain largely male because there has yet to be an inaugural graduating class this would come in 1852; but already a female student Hannah E. Longshore is listed as a Demonstrator in Anatomy. Indeed Longshore and her sister Anna would both be part of the inaugural class of the college with the latter going on the author Discourses to Women in Medical Subjects 1897. Indeed the majority of women listed in this catalogue went on to become doctors even when it took time -- as it did for Hannah W. Ellis and Susanna H. Ellis both listed among the graduates of the 1865 class. 12 pages in all this scarce pamphlet contains Officers Corporators Faculty and Students of the school; an Announcement on the school's missions and accomplishments; information on Specialties available; Terms of enrollment; and a list of required Textbooks. It also conveys the excitement optimism and pride of those involved. "The Faculty of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania are inspired by very different feelings from those that attended their efforts one year ago. Then they were about to enter into an untried path to engage in a great experiment.But that which was an experiment is an experiment no longer.give a woman knowledge commensurate with her natural qualifications enable her to go forth healing the sick and comforting the afflicted and she will bless the world." A rare survivor documenting that pivotal moment when women had been given the chance to prove their intellect rose to the challenge and made the future of the next female students more secure.

Photograph of Female Professor Dissecting Cadaver with Medical Students

16189Original vintage photograph of a female teacher directing male medical students dissecting a cadaver c. 1890. Black and white 3"x5" with back matting. One woman surrounded by four men lean over a table with a skeleton. Behind them is a chalkboard with anatomical pull down charts. Although women had participated in the informal practice of medicine for hundreds of years the United States and most industrialized nations did not allow women into the formal practice of medicine until the latter half of the 19th century. This female doctor was part of the first generation formally accepted by medical institution. She wears a medal indicating her importance and perhaps former military involvement. Early photographs of women in medicine are very rare photograph of surgery or dissection much rarer. Women practiced in the medical field for hundreds of years until new licenser rules established in the Victorian era provided a means for their exclusion. The story of how women reclaimed their role in medicine is one of resourcefulness and determination. In 1849 the first American woman graduated medical school. The path was difficult; few medical schools would accepted them and the reception was not always welcoming. Female doctors were called not only to prove their ability to practice medicine but to justify their unique necessity to the field. Of all the specialties the most embattled for women is surgery; early on they faced a challenge obtaining education training and facilities. A perennial argument was that cadaver dissection necessary to training was inappropriate for the delicate female disposition. However this Victorian-era photograph showing a woman capably participating in cadaver dissection proves that in the words of Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi the best known female doctor in 1891 "It is perfectly evident.that the opposition to women physicians has rarely been based upon any sincere conviction that women could not be instructed in medicine but upon an intense dislike to the idea that they should be. unknown books
