Woman's Medical Journal
American journal founded in 1893
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Woman's Medical Journal, published 1893–1952, was the first women's medical journal[1][2] and became the organ of the Medical Women's National Association upon the latter's founding in 1915[3] (later known as the American Medical Women's Association). It was a monthly journal devoted to the interests of women physicians, founded by Elmina M. Roys Gavitt[4] at a time when, in the USA, the practice of medicine by women was essentially a separate practice from that by men. Editors included co-founder Margaret Hackedorn Rockhill, Eliza Maria Mosher, Grace Peckham Murray, Isabelle Thompson Smart, Bertha Van Hoosen, and Marion Craig Potter,[5] the first vice president of the Medical Women's National Association. It is abstracted and indexed in OLDMEDLINE[6] and Scopus.[7]
