Dr. Marie Zakrzewska
Early Woman Doctor in
the United States
Much credit belongs to Dr. MARIE ZAKRZEWSKA for opening the way for women into the medical profession. Dr. Zakrzewska is a foreigner, but has been many years in this country, and has exerted a marked and beneficent influence among the younger women of the century.
Her great skill and success have won renown for herself, and encouraged many others. Mrs. Caroline H. Dail has written a sketch of this physician's life, which
is worthy a place in every woman's library, and which shows how energy and perseverance can overcome
obstacles. In her admirable book, " The College, the Market, and the Court," Mrs. Dail has several pages
devoted to the subject of " Medical Education," and speaks of one college and one hospital in Boston where
education is given, one also in Springfield, and one in Philadelphia.
