Opening of Boston Female Medical School

November 1st, 1848 176 years ago

The Boston Female Medical School was established as the first medical school for women in Boston, Massachusetts. Its foundation aimed to provide women with the opportunity to pursue medical education, breaking societal barriers prevalent in the mid-19th century. With a vision to empower women and increase their presence in the medical field, the school sought to train female physicians for a profession dominated by men. The school later merged with Boston University School of Medicine, contributing significantly to women's medical education.
