1836 Anderson Examination Garrett Passes Elizabeth Faculte Medecine Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment when Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, born in 1836, passed her doctoral examination at the prestigious Faculte de Medecine in Paris, France, in 1865. As the first woman to achieve this milestone, Garrett's groundbreaking achievement paved the way for women's rights in education and medicine. Born in England, Garrett's determination to pursue a medical career faced numerous obstacles due to her gender. Undeterred, she traveled to Paris to study under the renowned obstetrician-gynecologist, Pierre Budin. After years of dedication and hard work, Garrett successfully passed her doctoral examination, earning the title of Docteur en Medicine. Garrett's achievement was a significant moment in the history of women's rights and education. Her determination and perseverance challenged societal norms and opened doors for future generations of women in medicine and beyond. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of breaking barriers and pursuing one's dreams, no matter the challenges faced. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson's legacy extends far beyond her personal accomplishments. She went on to open the New Hospital for Women in London, which was the first maternity hospital in the world to be governed by women. Her commitment to women's health and education continued to shape the future of healthcare and gender equality. This photograph, taken in 1917, captures a moment of triumph and progress in the face of adversity.
