Final Draft

Mary Garret was born into a wealthy and privileged family on March 5th 1854. She lived on Mount Vernon in Baltimore and was the youngest child and only daughter to the infamous John Work Garret, who was the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company. . [1] Garret relied heavily on her close groups of friends which consisted of four other woman, M.Casey Thomas, Mamie Gwinn, Elizabeth" Bessie" King and Julia Rogers. They called themselves the "Friday Evening" and all but one of them being daughters of trustees at Johns Hopkins Hospital or Johns Hopkins University. [2] This influential group of five women fought for a lot of women's rights in America. [3] Since the "Friday Evening" clan was daughters to major John Hopkins influences, they started a campaign in the spring of 1890 where a committee would raise money and offer it to the University in order to ensure that woman would be held to the same standards and requirements as men. [3] This began on May 2nd 1890 and when the Woman Medical Fund campaign was organized. [3] On the basis of raising money for the new medical center, Mary Garret offered to pay and give the University 306,977$ in order to get the medical school running and in motion and with this came certain guidelines. Other than having woman be given the opportunity and held to the same standards as men, Garret wanted the new medical building to be renamed to the Woman’s Fund Memorial Building, in honor of the vital role that woman played in the calling attention to American Medicine [4] On Christmas eve the board accepted Garrets terms. [3] Mary Garret spent her last years at the medical school, where she passed away in 1915 at Bryn Mawr College. [1] Mary Garrets legacy has lived on where now almost 50% of medical school students are woman and they are admitted and upheld to the same standards as men. [1]
