1 CONC Lucy Beaman Hobbs Taylor was born on March 14, 1833 in Constable 
1 CONC (Franklin County), New York at a time in our nation's history when the 
1 CONC expected role of women was narrowly limited to motherhood or to a 
1 CONC typically "spinsterish" occupation such as teacher or nurse.
1 CONT
1 CONT Even early in her life, however, Lucy showed little interest in doing the 
1 CONC expected. She taught school for 10 years in Michigan but held a steadfast 
1 CONC interest in advanced medical study. In 1859 she moved to Cincinnati. 
1 CONC Because of her gender, she was turned down for admission to the (by 
1 CONC today's standards oddly misnamed) Eclectic College of Medicine, but this 
1 CONC did not stop her from taking up private studies with one of the school's 
1 CONC professors. At his suggestion, she turned to dentistry. Again becoming a 
1 CONC private pupil, she pursued this profession under the guidance of the dean 
1 CONC of the Ohio College of Dental Surgery and later apprenticed herself to a 
1 CONC graduate of the school. After being refused admission to the dental 
1 CONC college -- again because of her gender -- she opened her own practice at 
1 CONC the age of 28 in Cincinnati in the spring of 1861. She later moved her 
1 CONC practice to Bellevue, Iowa (1862) and thence to McGregor, Iowa 
1 CONC (1862-1865). In time, she came to be known by what sounded like a 
1 CONC translated Native American name -- "the woman who pulls teeth."
1 CONT
1 CONT In July 1865, as an indication that Lucy had proven herself a worthy 
1 CONC equal to her male colleagues, the Iowa State Dental Society accepted her 
1 CONC as a member and in fact sent her as a delegate to the American Dental 
1 CONC Association convention in Chicago. In November 1865, after serving 
1 CONC patients for four years in her own dentistry practice, she was admitted 
1 CONC to the senior class of the Ohio College of Dental Surgery.
1 CONT
1 CONT Receiving credit for her years of professional practice from a small but 
1 CONC devoted group of admirers, she earned her degree only a few months later, 
1 CONC in February 1866. Lucy Hobbs thus became the first woman in U.S. (and 
1 CONC probably world) history to earn a doctorate in dentistry. While later 
1 CONC practicing in Chicago, she met and married Civil War veteran and railway 
1 CONC maintenance worker James M. Taylor in April 1867. Under his wife's 
1 CONC guidance, he too became a dentist.
1 CONT
1 CONT Late in 1867, the Doctors Taylor moved to the western town of Lawrence, 
1 CONC Kansas, where they soon established a large and successful practice. 
1 CONC Although the Taylors themselves did not become parents, much of their 
1 CONC practice focused on women and children. Many patients referred to the 
1 CONC highly respected woman as "Dr. Lucy." After her husband's death in 1886, 
1 CONC she retired from most of her professional duties but remained active in 
1 CONC civic and political causes, including the woman's suffrage movement. She 
1 CONC gained recognition by her peers and fellow citizens as a pioneer in 
1 CONC opening the doors for women to dentistry. By the turn of the century, 
1 CONC almost one thousand women were welcomed to the profession -- a sign of 
1 CONC immense progress for which Lucy Hobbs Taylor could take considerable 
1 CONC credit.
1 CONT
1 CONT Of her career in Kansas, Dr. Taylor wrote, "I am a New Yorker by birth, 
1 CONC but I love my adopted country -- the West. To it belongs the credit of 
1 CONC making it possible for women to be recognized in the dental profession on 
1 CONC equal terms with men."
1 CONT
1 CONT This courageous and determined pioneer died in Lawrence on October 3, 
1 CONC 1910 at the age of 77. In her obituary in the local Lawrence newspaper, 
1 CONC she was recognized as "one of the most striking figures of Lawrence [who] 
1 CONC occupied a position of honor and ability, and for years she occupied a 
1 CONC place high in the ranks of her profession."
1 CONT
1 CONT Since 1983, the American Association of Women Dentists has recognized 
1 CONC outstanding females in the profession by annually bestowing the Lucy 
1 CONC Hobbs Taylor Award. The AAWD describes this honor as "the highest and 
1 CONC most prestigious award that the AAWD presents to one of its professional 
1 CONC members. This award recognizes a woman dentist who has contributed to the 
1 CONC advancement, enrichment, and betterment of the role of women in the field 
1 CONC of dentistry through her achievements in civic, cultural, humanitarian 
1 CONC and academic areas."
1 CONT
1 CONT Interestingly, the Lucy Hobbs Taylor Award for the year 2000 was 
1 CONC presented in Chicago on October 15, the day following the opening of this 
1 CONC exhibit in Lawrence to donors and guests. The winner that year was Dr. 
1 CONC Barbara Mousel. This date also falls very near the date of Lucy Hobbs 
1 CONC Taylor's passing (October 3) and near the birthday of Vance Roberts 
1 CONC (October 11). Photos and additional information linked with Dr. Taylor 
1 CONC and her era can be found here on the Lawrence Public Library website and 
1 CONC at this link on the Kansas State Historical Society website.
