A pioneering woman physician and a mail-order business for women's
diseases and menstruation: Dr. Grace Feder Thompson
Envelopes she mailed to prospective patients
The upper envelope contained the return
envelope (bottom) and the two other sheets (letter;
exam sheet front, back)
from Dr. Thompson seen in this section. Dr. Thompson offered a mail-order

San Francisco must have been excited about its exposition, or maybe
things were just a bit slow; the postmark promotes
an event taking place three years hence.
SarahAnne Hazlewood generously donated the Thompson advertising material
to this museum. The daughter of Dr. Thompson's third husband, Jerrie Wacholder,
contributed the biographical information and documents.
