Medicine Women

In honor of Dr. Mary Gaston (1855-1956)

A reception to celebrate the restoration of Somerville Library's treasured portrait of Dr. Mary Gaston, including a meet and greet with local dignitaries and a local history presentation by the staff.

Dr. Marge Sullivan, PhD will speak about the incredible life of Dr. Gaston (1855-1956).  Guest speaker Dr. Kathleen Toomey, a medical oncologist at RWJ in Somerville, will speak about the evolving role of women in medicine. At the conclusion of the program, the winner of a Women's History themed bookmark design contest will be announced. Arrangements have been made for the design to be printed on bookmarks for local distribution.
