The early years
Lucy Hobbs was born March 14, 1833 in the city of New York State Constable. She began her career as a school teacher in Michigan , where she worked for almost ten years. In 1859, she moved to Cincinnati , intending to become a dentist. She was denied admission to the Institute of Dentistry, after which she decided to study privately, studying with a professor at Ohio State College of Dental Surgery [3] .
Medical career
After studying a course in dentistry, in 1861, Lucy Hobbs opened a private dental practice in Cincinnati. Soon, she moved to the city of Bellevue , and then to ( Iowa ), where she spent three years.
In 1865, she finally received professional recognition and permission to join the Iowa Dental Society. In November of this year, she entered the College of Dental Surgery, after which in 1866 she received a doctorate in dentistry [3] , becoming the first woman in the United States who managed to do this [4] . She later wrote:
People were amazed when they found out that the girl was ready to forget about her femininity in order to study dentistry.

After that, Lucy Hobbs moved to Chicago . There she met James M. Taylor, whom she married in April 1867 . She convinced her husband to open a joint dental practice. The couple moved to the city of Lawrence ( Kansas ), where they conducted joint practice until 1886 . James Taylor died this year.
After the death of her husband, Lucy Taylor refused to continue dental practice and became a political activist. She defended the rights of women, remaining a public figure until her death on October 3, 1910 [3] .
Legacy
By 1900, about 1000 women who had received a dental education followed Lucy's example, which to a large extent is also her achievement. [6]
In 1983, the American Association of Women Dentists established the Lucy Hobbs Taylor Award, which is awarded annually in recognition of the professional excellence of female dentists and the promotion of women in dentistry.
