The other day I mentioned my great aunt Mabel who was one of the first women doctors to graduate (1905) from Melbourne university (1st picture). She married in 1909 (2nd pic) and being a woman in a male dominated field she was forced to move to outback Queensland to get work. She travelled by camel on her rounds. This is the photo I mentioned although I can't see her doctor bag that I remember - perhaps a different photo (3rd pic). Since 1915 photography has come a long way. This was was one of the early, user-friendly cameras I guess.
We do have artist ancestors from this time. They helped establish an art school in Melbourne but I need to research that more closely.
The woman I mentioned and the photo at the bottom.
