Reminiscences of Thirty Years in Baltimore: The Development of Women's Education - Lilian Welsh - Bog

Dr. Lilian Welsh was a dynamic force behind the development of women's physical education facilities in the United States, using Goucher College as her pulpit. She was a tireless advocate for women's advancement in education, physical health and suffrage. She persuasively argued that all of that could be in in vain as women could only advance once granted the right to vote. She was outspoken about monitoring food quality, extending access to education, and awareness about hygiene and public health. Reminiscences of Thirty Years is an important document for understanding the development of suffrage and its impact, and a unique look at the life of a female physician during a tumultuous period. As the Professor of Hygiene and Health at Goucher College, located in Towson, Maryland, her papers are held in the Goucher College Special Collections Department.
