Going to the Women's Library was special because of how well-kept and popular the library was to the local students. The document that I picked out was called Elsie Maud Inglis A Cameo Life Sketch by Dr. Aimee Gibbs. This document was more like a pamphlet and the whatever it was bounded by (some sort of staple or string) used to hold the pamphlet together but now can be separated by its pages. It looked old enough that it was fragile and needed caution when handling it. The paper was very soft and smelled rustic. My document was typed and there was no letterhead on the document. The document is about a biography written about Dr. Elsie Maud Inglis who spearheaded the women’s education in the medical field. A specific quote that stood out to me was when she was described as a "leader of women that spearheaded women's education not only in medicine but as a whole." The document was written detailing the challenges and obstacles that Elsie had to go through in order to become a doctor. It relates back to our studies because it exemplifies the efforts of women that were made in the 20th century to have a bigger role than just a stay at home mother. This biography reminded me of the quote from Three Guineas, "Behind us lies the patriarchal system; the private house, with its nullity, its immorality, its hypocrisy, its servility. Before us lies the public world, the professional system, with its possessiveness, its jealousy, its pugnacity, its greed." This quote speaks to the idea that the patriarchal system, which relegated women to the private sphere of the home, was morally bankrupt and in need of reform. Woolf argues that the public world, which women were gradually gaining access to through suffrage and professional opportunities, had its own set of challenges and pitfalls, but was ultimately more desirable than the private sphere. This quote underscores the importance of women's suffrage as a means of dismantling the patriarchal system and gaining greater access to the public world. All in all, this experience in the archives had taught me a lot of the history of women in the medical field. It is not everyday that I can have this type of experience and I was happy that I was able to connect it to a field that I am more familiar with.
