The Japanese doctor Ogino Hinko honors with its current doodle of Google.
She is the first woman to receive a license to practice Western medicine in Japan and today marks 171 years since her birth.
In fact, she was the first woman to attend Kojuin, a private medical school for men, thus opening the door for women to attend recognized medical schools in Japan.
Her decision to go into medicine was motivated by the prejudice she experienced as a female patient. He never gave up despite the obstacles he faced.
After graduating from medical school in 1882, the government initially refused to allow her to take the medical examinations. Dr. Hinko applied several times over the course of two years before women were finally allowed to take the exam. After obtaining permission, she opened an OB / GYN clinic in Tokyo that specializes in providing safe, non-critical care for women.
In addition to medicine, she also supported the right of women in Japan to vote
. Today’s Doodle artwork celebrates Dr.’s legacy. Hinko and its commitment to gender equality in Japan.
