For many decades, women who sought to become doctors were turned away at many institutions. This was not the case at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania. Beginning in 1850 the school trained thousands of women physicians who would later go on to teach in a diverse set of countries across the world. The story of these women and this institution is told in great detail through a set of primary documents on this website. Created by the Drexel University College of Medicine, this digital collection provides access to over 27,000 pages of materials. While visitors are free to use the search engine to locate specific items, they may do well by beginning their journey here by looking at one of the five thematic subject areas offered here. They include "Student Life", "Missionary Work & Public Health", and "Early College Years". The "Early College Years" is quite a pip, as visitors can browse the materials by date range or by format, such as diaries, booklets, and satires.
