Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person
Elmina M. Roys Gavitt (Шаблон:Nee, Roys; after marriage, Roys Gavitt or Roys-Gavitt; September 8, 1828 – August 25, 1898) was an American physician. She was also the founder and first editor of The Woman's Medical Journal, the first scientific monthly journal published to forward the interests exclusively of women physicians.Шаблон:Sfn
Gavitt was the first woman physician in Toledo, Ohio,[1] arriving there to practice after graduation from medical school. She was characterized as having great vision and high ideals for women in medicine. It was because of the need for means of communication between the widely scattered women then practicing medicine that this publication, which was the first scientific monthly medical journal for medical women, was founded. Because of that need, Gavitt became its editor.Шаблон:Sfn
Early life and education
Elmina M. Roys was born in Fletcher, VermontШаблон:Efn on September 8, 1828. She was the second of eight children. She came of Puritan, New England ancestry. Her parents were to a great extent the instructors of their family, both in religious and secular matters, for there were public schools but half of the year, and church privileges were few and far between. Шаблон:Sfn
When Gavitt was fourteen years old, business interests led the family to move to Woonsocket, Rhode Island. For the next twelve years, Gavitt dealt with ill-health.Шаблон:Sfn
Hoping to benefit herself by striving for what seemed then almost unattainable, and seeing no opportunities available to American women which promised more usefulness than the profession of medicine, she entered the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia,[2] in 1862.Шаблон:Sfn
Career
In 1865, Gavitt was called to Clifton Springs, New York, as house physician in an institution there. Two years later, she went to Rochester, Minnesota, and opened a general practice, which was a success. In 1869, she moved to Toledo, Ohio. During that year, she adopted a blind sister's six children, ranging from two days old to twelve years old.Шаблон:Sfn
