Talk:Agnes Marshall Cowan

Inaccurate statement in the opening
While I am sure it is made in good faith, the claim Agnes Marshall Cowan "was the first Scottish female to be granted a professorship" is not true. This error possibly lies in the original source, but as I have noted at Talk:Margaret Fairlie, Aberdeen-born Doris Mackinnon (who incidentally was a staff member at University College, Dundee when Margaret Fairlie was a student there) was appointed a Professor at King's College London in 1927. There is also the case of Dr Ruth Young from Dundee who in 1917 held the title of "Professor of Surgery at Lady Hardinge Medical College in Delhi". I would therefore propose that although citing a reliable source the claim should be removed. Dunarc (talk) 16:00, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
