7. Emily Stowe
Answer: Doctor
Emily Stowe was born in 1831. She was the first female doctor to practice medicine in Canada. She was homeschooled by her mother who was a Quaker. Her mother taught her and her five sisters herbal medicines as part of their schooling.
In 1852, she applied to Victoria College but was refused because she was female. This began her lifelong fight for gender equality. She attended the Normal School for Upper Canada and graduated in 1854 with first-class honors. She was hired as a principal at the Brantford, Ontario public school, making her the first female principal in Upper Canada. She taught there as well until 1856 when she married and due to the Marriage Bar (a law that did not allow married women to work), she lost her job.
After seven years of being married to John Fiuscia Michael Heward Stowe, he developed tuberculosis. Because of this, she became interested in medicine again, something she had forgotten about from her childhood. She had trouble getting into medical school in Canada so she went to the United States and got her medical degree from the New York Medical College for Women in 1867. She returned to Canada and opened a practice that same year although unlicensed. Canada then required that she get a license even for homeopathic methods, and because she had her degree from the United States she needed some Canadian courses, but she was still denied entrance. In 1870, Dr. Atkins, president of the Toronto Medical School allowed her and Jennie Kidd special permission to take classes. However, upset by how the males (both faculty and students) treated her she left. Kidd became the first licensed female doctor in Canada.
In 1879 she was charged with helping a patient named Sarah Lovell have an abortion via pill when Sarah died. Several of the Toronto Medical School males came to her defense and she was acquitted. On July 16, 1880, based on her experience she was given her license to practice medicine.
She died on April 30, 1903, at the age of 71.
One of her daughters followed in her footsteps. Augusta Stowe-Gullen was the first female to earn a medical degree in Canada.
