STEVENSON, Sarah Hackett, physician, born in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, 2 February, 1843. She was graduated at the State university, Bloomington, Illinois, in 1863, and ten years later was studying at the South Kensington scientific schools, London. On her return to the United States she entered the Woman's medical college, Chicago, where she was graduated in 1875. Since that time she has held several professorships in the same college and many posts of honor in other medical associations and institutions. In 1876 she was a delegate from the Illinois state medical society to the American medical association at Philadelphia, and was the first woman physician to be elected a member of that body. She was one of the promoters of the Home for incurables and Training school for nurses in Chicago, and outside of her large practice has found time to publish works on "Biology" (2 vols.. New York, 1875)and " Physiology" (Chicago, 1880).
