Rebecca Lee Crumpler was born Rebecca Davis in Delaware on February 8, 1831, she grew up in Pennsylvania, where her aunt provided care for the ill. Rebecca attended a prestigious private school, the West-Newton English and Classical School in Massachusetts, as a “special student.” In 1852, she moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, and worked as a nurse. In 1860, she took the bold step of applying to medical school and was accepted into the New England Female Medical College based in Boston and attached to the New England Hospital for Women and Children. In 1864, Rebecca became the College’s only African-American graduate. There were only 300 women out of 54,543 physicians in the United States and none of them were African-American. After the end of the Civil War in 1865, Rebecca moved to Richmond, Virginia, where she found “the proper field for real missionary work, and one that would present ample opportunities to become acquainted with the diseases of women and children.” Rebecca worked at The Freedman’s Bureau, the federal agency charged with helping more than 4,000,000 slaves make the stunning transition from bondage to freedom. In Richmond, Rebecca valiantly ignored daily episodes of racism, rude behavior, and sexism from her colleagues, pharmacists, and many others, in order to work. In 1869, she returned to Boston and practiced medicine. In 1880, she wrote “A Book of Medical Discourses in Two Parts,” The book is dedicated “to mothers, nurses, and all who may desire to mitigate the afflictions of the human race.” Rebecca Davis Lee Crumpler died on March 9, 1895, in Hyde Park. #herstory #timeless #womenshistorymonth
