13.01.2022 The three women pictured in this incredible photograph from 1885 -- Anandibai Joshi of India, Keiko Okami of Japan, and Sabat Islambouli of Syria -- each became... the first licensed female doctors in their respective countries. The three were students at the Womens Medical College of Pennsylvania; one of the only places in the world at the time where women could study medicine. As Mallika Rao writes in HuffPost, "If the timing doesn't seem quite right, that's understandable. In 1885, women in the U.S. still couldn't vote, nor were they encouraged to learn very much. Popular wisdom decreed that studying was a threat to motherhood." Given this, how did three women from around the world end up studying there to become doctors? The credit, according to Christopher Woolf of PRI's The World, goes to the Quakers who "believed in womens rights enough to set up the WMCP way back in 1850 in Germantown. Woolf added, "It was the first womens medical college in the world, and immediately began attracting foreign students unable to study medicine in their home countries. First they came from elsewhere in North America and Europe, and then from further afield. Women, like Joshi in India and Keiko Okami in Japan, heard about WMCP, and defied expectations of society and family to travel independently to America to apply, then figure out how to pay for their tuition and board... . Besides the international students, it also produced the nations first Native American woman doctor, Susan LeFlesche, while African Americans were often students as well. Some of whom, like Eliza Grier, were former slaves."

Taekwon-Do Committee SM Dr Linda Low Chairwoman, ITF Women's Conference Dear Mrs, As you requested I would like to send Mrs. Hwng Yong Mi's details as below who will take the floor for her speechon behalf of the Women's Comission of the Korean Taekwon-Do Committee at the 1st ITF Women's Conference tobe held in Thailand. She began Taekwon-Do 1985 and won 11 gold medals for her distinguished techniques at all events including sparring at the 5th, 6th and 7th World Taekwon-Do Chmpionships. So she was awarded the DPRK People's Sportswoman 1990. And then she graduated from the Korea University of Physical Education for coach qualification and trained lots of talentedfemale athletes during her commitment of the female team coach at the Korean Taekwon-Do Committee. Therefore she was awarded the Labour Hero in 2005 from the DPRK Government for her leading the team to consecutive gold medal winning for overall champion at many World & Asian Taekwon-Do Championships. She now as a deputy head of the Korean National Team (7th) devotes all her energy and talents to training top Taekwon-Do athletes who will represent our nation, with her many years of experiences and techniques. I hope the Women's Conference in Puket, Thailand will be of important opportunity to encourage the women's activities and enhance their role in ITF by means of righteous voices of the women Taekwon-Doists. Yours in Taekwon-Do, Kim Kyong Ho President, Korean Tekwon-Do Committee & Asian Taekwon-Do Committee
