She first wanted to be an internist, but it changed when she became interested in neurosurgery. But that path was where people told her not to do, so she encountered difficulties obtaining the internship. But she refused to give up; she was then accepted as a surgical intern at the Yale-New Have Hospital. She went there after graduating, cum laude, from medical school in 1975.

Insulin for diabetes was discovered in 1921 at the University of Toronto by Sir Frederick G. Banting, Charles H. Best, and JJR Macleod. James B. Collip subsequently purified it, and one year later on January 11, it was put to use on a young 14 year old boy named Leonard Thompson; a patient at Toronto General Hospital. Once the substance was delivered, it was found that the extract was so pure that he suffered an allergic reaction, and further injections were cancelled. James Collip worked for the next 12 days on improving the ox-pancreas extract, and the second dose given to Thompson on January 23 was completely successful. Prior to this, a type 1 diabetic would be put on a starvation diet, or be limited to a calorie intake of around 450 calories per day, and would only live a few extra months. Leonard Thompson lived another 14 years, until 1935 when he died of pneumonia at the age of 28.

In 1975, she was the first faculty member in the Department of Ophthalmology at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute who was a female. In 1976, she co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness. They said that “Eyesight is a basic human right.” In 1983, she had then helped to make the Ophthalmology Residency Training program at UCLA Drew. She also chaired it, which added to her firsts. She became the first female to hold such a highly ranked position.

Dix’s life changed in 1841, when she began teaching Sunday school at the East Cambridge Jail, a women’s prison. She discovered the alarming treatment of the prisoners, specifically those with mental illnesses, whose place of residence had no heat. She immediately went to court and ensured an order to provide heat for the prisoners, along with other advancements. She began traveling around the state to research the conditions in prisons, and ultimately arranged a document that was presented to the Massachusetts Legislature, which enlarged the budget to expand the Mental Hospital at Worcester. Dix was not content with reforms in Massachusetts. She toured the country documenting the conditions and treatment of patients, campaigning to authorize

There’s 7 billion (give or take a few) people on this Earth. Every single solitary one of them is capable of changing the world in a major way, like Dorothea Dix did. Dorothea Dix was a woman of the mid 1800’s who devoted her life to visiting homes and hospitals for the mentally ill and fixing them up. She founded countless mental hospitals, she changed how people thought of and treated the mentally ill, and she got important political figures to help her with her cause. Dorothea Dix changed the lives of the mentally ill for all of time to come.

Carol Gilligan was born to William E. Friedman and Mabel Friedman on November 28th, 1936. Gilligan’s mother was a teacher and her father was a lawyer. She grew up in New York City during the Holocaust era (Medea, 2009). For her undergraduate education, Gilligan attended Swarthmore College, graduating in 1958 with summa cum laude honors and a major in English literature. From there, she went to Radcliffe College for a master’s degree in clinical psychology in 1961 and Harvard for a doctorate in social psychology in 1964 (Carol, 2017). After finishing all of her post-secondary education, Carol left the psychology field, married James Gilligan, and moved to Chicago where she started her family. Gilligan began teaching, lecturing, and tutoring at the University of Chicago (Ball, 2010). Eventually, she decided to return to Harvard to further pursue psychology.

We live in a time in which socioeconomic factors are indicators of the quality of healthcare a person may or may not receive. Dr. Mary T. Bassett, the commissioner of the New York City Department of Health, spent almost two decades serving on the medical faculty of a university in Zimbabwe. During her time there, Dr. Bassett witnessed an AIDS epidemic gradually break out, and at this time she took notice of the disparity between the socially marginalized and the financially stable. The health care each group received was evidently incompatible; the accessibility to various treatments for AIDS remained reserved for those who could afford it. Dr. Bassett, at the time, believed she could not speak out against the lack of humanity and the destruction

When we study the history of psychology one might assume there were minimal female contributors, but that is a big misconception. Women in the past struggled with discrimination and many hurdles to gain recognition for their work. Women psychologists have gone largely unrecognized, unappreciated, and almost unseen to historical accounts. The lack of acknowledgement for women psychologists in today’s study takes away from the comprehensive study to our generation. It is exceedingly important that we receive a well-rounded education of all the great psychologists in history and not only the male founders. The following women I will discuss mention only a few who have made an influence in psychology.
