Mary Corinna Putnam Jacobi (néePutnam; August 31, 1842 – June 10, 1906) was an English-American physician, teacher, scientist, writer, and suffragist.[1] She was the first woman admitted to study medicine at the University of Paris and the first woman to graduate from a pharmacy college in the United States.[2]
Jacobi had a long career practicing medicine, teaching, writing, and advocating for women's rights, especially in medical education.[3] Her scientific rebuttal of the popular idea that menstruation made women unsuited to education was influential in the fight for women's educational opportunities.[3]
Jacobi was a founding member of the League for Political Education[4] and the Women's Medical Association of New York City, and was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1993.[5]
