Tidbits of Wisdom
FIRST WOMAN

In 1879, Mary Eliza Mahoney became the first African American licensed nurse. In 1896, she joined the Nurses Associated Alumnae of the United States and Canada (NAAUSC), which later became known as the American Nurses Association (ANA). The NAAUSC consisted mainly of white members, which were not always welcoming to Black nurses. Mahoney felt that a group was needed which advocated for the equality of African American nurses. In 1908, she co-founded the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses (NACGN). Sheretired from nursing after 40 years in the profession, but she continued to champion women’s rights. After the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, Mahoney was among the first women who registered to vote in Boston.
