This is what should be taught in our schools, not the socialist crap they are teaching today.

Very interesting I'm going to read more about her. She sounds like a courageous woman, and dedicated to helping others with no regard for own wellbeing.

Largent The Elegant Liberator, I didn't know it either. Women have been relegated to the very back if the history books, if they are included at all.

Misleading question. It implies the plural when the answer is singular.

I guessed the answer and was right, but I had no idea. I was gonna say 0 but considering all the 1st women are accomplishing in my lifetime I figured it must've happened at least once...should be way more than that.

Can you imagine how intelligent, determined, and strong she was to 1. be accepted into medical school. 2. tolerate being the only woman, surrounded by the majority of men feeling threatened. 3. surviving a prison camp, especially being a woman. Amazing woman. I am going to do some research.

Why isn't this woman in our history books? This lady is a hero & role model that needs recognition for her deeds.

Very interesting story. I wonder why she was removed from the list in 1917. Her suffragette activities?
