Grand Rapids had a surprising number of women physicians in the 1890s-over ten! Besides female teachers and physicians, we also had journalists and an attorney whose story is beginning to complicate the emerging portrait of our nation's earliest women lawyers. Join the Fountain Street Church history series on Sunday, March 20th, to hear more about Grand Rapids' earliest professional women.
