Describes how Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania (WMC) survived periods of crisis and instability, from its inception in 1850 until its realignment as the Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1998, when men were admitted to medical classes for the first time. Overall, the WMC was a remarkable experiment in single-sex professional education and rare 19th-century case of female-male collaboration in science and medicine.
