women's rights in Canada
I picked women’s right’s, There was a lot you could find for it too. But not all in the time period we were given. I will tell you about one women in particular Dr. Emily Howard Stowe!
This is Dr. Emily Howard Stowe On the 100 dollar bill.
She was the first female doctor to practice in Canada. Emily was a big activist for women's rights and suffrage. Emily helped found the women's suffrage movement in Canada and campaigned for Canada's first medical college for women.
(May 1, 1831 – April 29, 1903) Emily is just one of The women that did Great things in Canada.
This is Dr. Augusta Stowe-Gullen. She was the first to graduate from a Canadian medical school.
The other jobs that women had to choose from were domestic servants, teaching, journalism, social Work and public health…But with the medicine Schooling now women could, now be in jobs like Military services and nursing and anything to do With the medicine field. In just saying I think you Would feel a lot safer if my doctor was educated.
Stowe was denied entrance into the Toronto School of Medicine in 1865 and was told by the school’s Vice President, “The doors of the University are not open to women and I trust they never will be”. Unable to study medicine in Canada, Emily Stowe earned her degree in the united states from the homeopathic New York medical college for women in 1867. The same year, Emily returned to Canada and opened a practice in Toronto, Ontario
