The Progressive Era in the United States brought many social and political reforms. Many professions that were previously closed off to women and people of color became more accessible and for Seventh-day Adventist women, the medical field brought opportunity for mission-minded work both domestically and abroad.
But this new era didn’t last forever. A new set of challenges for these women - nurses, doctors, and health educators - was on the horizon.
In this episode, we explore the lives of Mary Britton, Lottie Blake, and Ruth Temple - who blazed trails as some of the first black female physicians in the United States.
This episode mentions Lottie Blake, Mary Briton, and Ruth Temple.
Guests: Dr. Ella Smith Simmons, Dr. Lisa Clark Diller, and Dr. DeWitt Williams.
