EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in medical history. The image showcases the renowned French doctor, Jean-Martin Charcot, alongside his trusted chef de clinique, Babinski, and a group of interns and doctors at the Salpetriere Hospital in Paris in 1885. The presence of two pioneering female doctors in this photo is particularly noteworthy. Augusta Marie Klumpke, the young woman on the left wearing an intern's apron, was not only one of the first female interns to work in a Paris hospital but also later became the wife and collaborator of French neurologist Joseph Jules Dejerine. On the right side stands Blanche-Edwards-Pillet, another trailblazing female doctor who fought tirelessly for women's rights. Charcot himself was instrumental in founding modern neurology and made significant contributions to our understanding of various neurological disorders. His collaboration with Babinski further advanced their field. This portrait provides us with a glimpse into both medical practice during that era and society's evolving attitudes towards gender roles. It serves as a testament to these individuals' dedication to medicine and their determination to break barriers within their profession. Preserved within this private collection, this photograph offers us an invaluable historical perspective on healthcare advancements while honoring those who paved the way for future generations of doctors and activists alike.
