Clemence Sophie Harned Lozier established the first medical school for women in New York. Lozier graduated Syracuse Medical College in 1853. In 1863 she opened the New York Medical College and Hospital for Women in New York City. Women came from around the world to train with her. Unfortunately they needed police escorts to attend their clinics at Bellevue Hospital, because male doctors and medical students harassed them as they made their way there. An activist in the fight for female suffrage, Lozier also supported abolition and homeopathic medicine
