Abstract
Jennifer Nieves discusses the founding of the Women’s and Children’s Free Medical and Surgical Dispensary in 1878, the inspiration behind its founding, and its dual purpose in providing “clinical advantages for young women physicians and students” and being “a place where self-respecting women of limited means” could receive medical services from “physicians of their own sex”. Abstract; originally published in Western Reserve Studies Symposium (16th:2001 : Cleveland, Ohio).
