Maude Abbott
Maude Abbott wanted to become a doctor at a time when women 
were not allowed to study medicine. Eventually, she became not only 
a doctor but also a world-renowned expert on heart disease.
*
In the late 1800s, women in Canada were supposed to become wives and mothers. A few 
might be nurses or primary school teachers, but most careers were closed to them simply 
because of their gender. This kind of sexism was common around the world.
Things were just starting to change when Maude Abbott was born in Quebec in 1869, 
only two years after Confederation. Although she came from a famous family (her 
cousin, James Abbott, became prime minister), Maude had a difficult childhood. First her 
father abandoned the family and then her mother died, and she was raised by her 
grandparents.
Maude was a very bright girl who dared to dream of achieving something more than a 
traditional role. She wanted to become a doctor. However, although she was admitted to 
university (she was part of only the third class of women at McGill University), Maude 
Abbott was not allowed to study medicine because she was a woman.
Eventually, she found a school that would let her earn her medical degree. Then, she went 
on to study in Europe. With all of that education and her powerful brain, Maude Abbott 
became more than just a doctor - she became a medical genius!
Back in Canada, Dr. Abbott published the first of more than 140 books and papers, most 
of them on heart disease. Eventually, she was recognized as a world expert in her field. 


At that point, McGill University accepted her, giving her an honorary medical degree and 
a job as a professor. She set up their medical museum, which became an important 
research center.
Dr. Abbott had to fight hard to earn recognition, and she wanted other women to be 
treated more fairly. She helped found the Federation of Medical Women of Canada to 
support and encourage women in medicine. She spent so much time helping others, and 
had so much energy to give, that she became known by the nickname “The Beneficent 
Tornado.”
To this day, Dr. Maude Abbott is still helping young women and all medical students - 
through her books, the McGill museum, and the scholarships awarded in her name. She 
was a medical pioneer and a giant in the field of heart disease, but it is her generous spirit 
as much as her accomplishments that keep her memory alive today.
