Women definitely had opportunities back then, but it would have been a tougher road getting there. <br /><br />@Birgit. Haven't heard of any movies. Hollywood would probably spice up things to make her life more interesting....maybe about some male physician who's jealous of her position, and then falls in love with her, etc. <br /><br />@Sage. Definitely an interesting woman. Also unfamiliar. I'm learning a lot!

Hope to see you back. <br /><br />@Spacer Guy. I have wondered as a professor too, if she had much time as a doctor. She must have been busy! <br /><br />@Eva. Both were new to me!

Yes, so true!<br /><br />@Danielle. Yes, hard to imagine. I wonder if she married or had children. She would have had income to provide for their care.
