This is the first full-length biography of Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842-1906), the most significant woman physician of her era and an outspoken advocate for women's rights. She campaigned for co-education, professional opportunities, labor reform, and suffrage--the most important women's rights issues of her day. Downplaying gender differences, she used the laboratory to prove that women were biologically capable of working, learning, and voting. Science, she believed, held the key to promoting and producing gender equality.
