Scope and Contents note
Mary Everett (1830-1916) initially taught school, and later attended the New York Medical College and Hospital for women. After graduating in 1872 she opened a homeopathic practice in New York City. She was one of the first female surgeons in the United States, and active in temperance and women's rights movements form the 1860s until her death in 1916. Her letters to family describe coursework, cases, and often include medical advice and prescriptions. Some of her incoming correspondence is from other female colleagues, as well as other homeopathic physicians with whom she traded advice.
