47th Historia Medica lecture
Speaker: Candace O’Connor
A free lecture supported by the Becker Library and the Center for History of Medicine
For years, women were scarce and often unwelcome among the students, residents, and faculty at the Washington University School of Medicine. But there were some pioneers who broke ground for the many women physicians of today. Who were these early women? What were their triumphs and failures? This lecture will introduce them in name, picture and story.
