Original Photo
(Education). [Photograph], Woman Student in Laboratory, 1900. Photo of nearly all male laboratory, with one female science student present, 20 years before women’s suffrage in the United States. Silver gelatin print. 5”x7” photo mounted on 8”x10” card. This photograph shows a 1900 pharmacological laboratory with one woman and ten men. Photo in good condition with some slight surface abrasions and a small puncture in the center. A demonstration is happening at the front of the classroom, yet the lone woman in the lab directs her piercing gaze at the viewer. Girls at the time were discouraged from pursuing a scientific education, and those who did found their contributions minimized. Despite the obstacles, this photo shows a young woman, eager to obtain a scientific education.Item #16204
