Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831-1895) born on February 8, 1831, was a physician and author who after studying at the New England Female Medical College, in 1864 became the first Black woman to become a doctor of medicine in the United States. She accomplished so much in her short 64-year life.

Rebecca first practiced medicine in Boston, primarily for poor women and children. After the Civil War ended in 1865, she moved to Richmond, Virginia, believing treating women and children there was an ideal way to perform missionary work. It's thought that she might have been the first black woman to publish a medical article. In 1833 she published a 2-part piece called "A Book of Medical Discourses". The first part focused on the care of infants and the second part focused on women's health.

Crumpler worked for the Freedmen's Bureau. She was subject to intense racism and sexism while practicing medicine.

During this time, many men believed that a man's brain was 10 percent bigger than a woman's brain and that a woman's job was to be pretty and act submissivelv. Many of her male counterparts didn't respect Rebecca, nor would they approve her prescriptions for patients or listen to her medical opinions. And yet somehow, she persevered and paved the way forcountless physicians who would come after her.

A pre-health club named The Rebecca Lee Pre-Health Society at Syracuse University and the Rebecca Lee Society, one of the first medical societies for Black women, were named after her. Her Joy Street house is a stop on the Boston Women's Heritage Trail.

She died on March 9, 1895 in Fairview, Massachusetts.

Thank you for your contributions to medicine and humanity Doctor Crumpler.

Rebecca Lee Crumpler, nacida el 8 de febrero de 1831, fue una doctora y escritora que después de haber estudiado en New England Female Medical College (Colegio Médico Para Mujeres Nueva Inglaterra) en 1864, se convirtió en la primera mujer negra en convertirse en doctora en los Estados Unidos. Tuvo muchos logros en su corta vida de sesenta y cuadro años.

Rebecca primero práctico medicina en Boston, principalmente para mujeres y niños de escasos recursos. Cuando finalizó la Guerra Civil en el año 1865, ella se mudó a Richmond, Virgina, creyendo que tratar a mujeres y a niños era una manera ideal de realizar trabajo misionero. Se cree que fue la primera mujer negra en publicar un artículo sobre medicina. En 1833 ella publicó una obra de dos partes llamada “Un Libro de Discursos Médicos”. La primera parte enfocada en el cuidado de los infantes y la segunda parte enfocada en la salud de la mujer.

Crumpler trabajó en la Oficina de Refugiados, Hombres Libres y Tierras Abandonadas. Ella estuvo sujeta a racismo y sexismo intenso mientras que practicó medicina.

Durante este tiempo, muchos hombres creían que el cerebro de los hombres era un diez porciento más grande que el de las mujeres y que el trabajo de la mujer era únicamente verse bonita y ser sumisa. Muchos de sus colegas hombres no le respetaban, tampoco aprobaban las recetas médicas para sus pacientes y se rehusaban a escuchar sus opiniones médicas. Sin embargo, de alguna manera, ella perseveró y pavimentó el camino para innumerables médicos que vendrían después de ella.

Rebecca Lee Pre-Health Society (Sociedad de Pre-Salud Rebecca Lee) en la Universidad de Syracuse es una sociedad que fue nombrada en su honor, es una de las primeras sociedades médicas para mujeres negras. Su casa ubicada en Joy Street es una parada en Boston Women's Heritage Trail (Sendero de Patrimonios de las Mujeres de Boston).

Ella falleció el 9 de marzo de 1895 en Fairview, Massachusetts.

Gracias por sus aportes a la medicina y a la humanidad Doctora Crumpler.

This blog supports the Black Lives Matter Movement.

This blog supports the activism of those fighting to be heard, protected, and respected.

If you do not support the work, if you believe “All Lives Matter” and can’t understand why there is so much rage across the world right now, unfollow me.

We would not have Pride without recognizing and acknowledging the black and brown BIPOC communities that sacrificed and fought for equity and equality.

No Justice = No Peace.

Educate yourself. Below are some resources to start that work:

75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice

I have a platform on here and I will NOT be silent. For those fighting in the streets, struggling with COVID and the state of the world, for those in need of support:  I am here for you. I am listening. I am speaking out. I love you. I will stand with you.

Want to learn more? Want to have a conversation? Hit me up.

Silence is oppression, and this blog will not take part in it.

i need to get off social media every post i see makes me so fucking sad and i’m trying so hard to fight for my rights and other black people but i just keep seeing more and more death and i don’t know how to feel, our lives in this country mean absolutely nothing and it’s not fair. i shouldn’t have to keep seeing black women,children, and men dying. i shouldn’t fear my life will be taken bc i’m black. BLACK LIVES FUCKING MATTER fuck it’s 2020 and i shouldn’t be screaming for my fucking rights i shouldn’t be fighting for my siblings and peers to stay the fuck alive. i’m so sad and heart broken but with that being said, the fight is far from over, the more death, the more fire we put into this movement, we can’t give up. to my black people out there i fucking love you, i stand with every black person. to the white allies keep using your privilege, keep speaking out, let black voices be heard loud and clear.
