Paulina Luisi (September 22, 1875 – July 17, 1950) was Uruguay’s first woman to earn a medical degree, a trailblazing physician, educator, and feminist whose work helped transform women’s rights and public health in Latin America Born in Colón, Argentina, to Italian and Polish immigrant parents who emphasized liberal education, Luisi moved with her family to Uruguay as a child. She and her sisters became among the first professional women in the country—Clotilde became Uruguay’s first female lawyer, and Luisa a noted poet and educator In 1900 she enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of the Republic in Montevideo, and in 1908 became Uruguay’s first female physician, specializing in gynecology and later dermatology and venereal diseases (trained in Paris, 1923). Luisi also became a respected academic, teaching hygiene and public health, and leading studies into social hygiene—addressing issues like prostitution, sexual health, and child welfare Beyond medicine, Luisi was a tireless campaigner for women's political and civil rights. In 1907 she helped establish the Uruguayan branch of the Association of University Women, and in 1916 co-founded the Consejo Nacional de Mujeres del Uruguay (National Women’s Council), later forming the Uruguayan Women’s Suffrage Alliance in 1919. Her organizations, writing (such as Una moral única para ambos sexos and Otra voz clamando en el desierto), and activism played a central role in securing women’s suffrage in Uruguay in 1932 (first exercised in 1938)

These images depict the Canadian Women's Press Club (CWPC). From 1904 to the early 1990's, it was a organization of Canadian journalists that prior to 1971 was only open to women. In 1971 the group was renamed to The Media Club of Canada.

“The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It’s not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work.”
