On April 12, 2012 and October 29, 2013, I visited the New England Hospital for Women and Children. To visit, ride the Orange Line to Jackson Square or bus routes 22, 29 or 44 on Columbus Avenue or bus route 42 on Washington Street near Egleston Square.
"Dr. Marie Zakrewska (1829-1902) founded this hospital in 1862. As a woman she was not allowed to practice in Boston, but she and her colleagues strove to advance women's medical care and medical education. Other women remembered here are Linda Richards, America's first trained nurse; Mary Eliza Mahoney, the first African-American trained nurse; and Dr. Susan Dimock, surgeon and founder of the hospital's nursing school."
