With thousands of well educated
soldiers returning to civilian life after
service abroad or at home, the women
of the country must carry out their
part in helping these soldiers cherish
those fine and precious ideals which
they SO recently have gained" de-
clared DIR. Nordfeldt.
DIR. Nordfcldt, who is herself a
fully accredited doctor of medicine,
related n or two exceedingly inter-
esting incidents in the development Of
the recognition of the ability Of
woman along medicinal or surgical
lines. The first recognized women
physicians lived in England in 1860.
In order to gain her preparatory
training for the career of a physician,
DR.. Nordfeldt, during her period Of
training, was forced to disguise herself
in a nurses uniform and perform
those duties of a nurse that the men
under whom she worked might not
know what she was in reality working
for.
1T is worth nothing" declared DR..
Nordfeldt, that the great grand
daughter of this first British
physician held the rank of a British
major in the recent war. having COM
plete charge of a fully equipped army
hospital and having under her a full
corps of assistants, physicians and
internS."
That facts of life should be pre-
sented to every child in a simple,
ner, was another point emphasized ~
DR.. Nordfeldt. She asserted that if
these facts were faced squarely they
would not be found repulsive. but
beautiful, wonderful and inspiring.
