Emmeline Stuart

Emmeline Stuart (1866–1946) was the first female doctor with an official medical degree to join the Church Missionary Society's Persia Mission. Working primarily in Julfa, Isfahan, and Shiraz, she is known primarily for spearheading the development and day-to-day operations of a prominent women's hospital and regional dispensary.[1] She was among the first wave of women physicians and also of single women who undertook this rigorous, and sometimes dangerous, work, and her reports and correspondence are important primary sources for scholars of the era.[2][3][4][5]
