A vintage black-and-white studio portrait of Lucy Hobbs Taylor, the first woman in the United States to earn a degree in dentistry (1866), taken in the late 19th century. She is a young woman in her 30s with a serious, composed expression, gazing directly at the camera. Her dark hair is parted in the center and pulled back into a neat bun. She wears a dark Victorian-style dress with a high collar, a light ruffled or lace collar insert, and a fitted bodice with subtle detailing. Her hands rest calmly in her lap, conveying quiet determination and professionalism. The plain backdrop and soft lighting emphasize her dignified presence as a trailblazing figure who overcame gender barriers to become a licensed dentist and advocate for women in medicine.

Happy #DentistsDay! 😬

Lucy Hobbs Taylor is the first American woman to graduate dental school (Ohio College of Dental Surgery, 1866).

By 1900, ~1,000 women had followed her into dentistry, an increase many attribute to her accomplishments.
