<span>Mary J. Scarlett Dixon was born in Robeson, Berks County, Pennsylvania, on October 23, 1822. She grew up in a Quaker family that became very involved in the Anti-Slavery cause. Having lost both parents by the age of sixteen, Mary was very interested in medicine. After pursuing a teaching career, she entered the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1855. When Mary graduated in 1857, she continued to take classes, worked with poor patients, and delivered lectures on medical topics.</span><br /><br /><span>Beginning in 1859, Mary taught at her alma mater and held the title of Professor of Anatomy. Eventually, she established a successful practice in Philadelphia and changed her position to Professor of Anatomy and Histology. Mary's colleagues included Rachel Bodley, Emeline H. Cleveland, and Ann Preston. </span><span>On March 16, 1867, Mary gave the valedictory address at the graduation ceremony. Her address, which was printed in </span><em><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83025925/1867-03-16/ed-1/seq-5/#date1=1840&sort=date&date2=1910&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=2&words=J+Mary+Scarlett&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Mary+J.+Scarlett&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Evening Telegraph</a></em><span> that evening, included wise advice for both future physicians and all women. </span><br /><br /><span>After she married G.

Unfortunately, Mary suffered from glaucoma. By 1886, she also needed to curtail her practice. </span><br /><br /><span>Mary passed away in Philadelphia on January 28, 1900, and is buried in that city's Fair Hill Burial Ground.</span>
