In 1893, during the 49th annual meeting held in Chicago, a woman member, Dr. Burnet of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, read her paper, “Clinical Account of Three Cases of Speech Disturbances.”
Dr. Burnet was recognized by Henry M. Hurd, M.D., who stated, “We ought to congratulate Dr. Burnet and the Association upon the fact that she is the first lady member of the Association to present a paper here. I hope that the other women who belong to the association will also come forward and take part in our discussions.”
Dr. Burnet was one of the earliest female members of the association.
