Her decision to go into the medical field was spurred by the prejudice she experienced as a female patient. She never gave up despite the 3hurdles she faced. After graduating from medical school in 1882, the government initially refused to let her take the medical licensing exam. Dr. Ginko 4petitioned multiple times over the course of two years before women were finally allowed to take the test. After getting licensed, she opened an 5OB/GYN clinic in Tokyo that specialized in providing safe, non-judgmental care for women.

Outside of medicine,she also advocated for women in Japan to gain the right to vote. Today’s Doodle artwork celebrates Dr. Ginko’s legacy and her commitment to gender equality in Japan.

荻野吟子(1851-1913)

・荻野吟子は日本初の国家資格を持っ女性医師となります。
医術開業試験に女性として初めて合格。というか説明文にあるように、当時は女性が受験すること自体認められなかったのですが、嘆願の末1884年に認められ、女性は荻野を含む3人が受けましたが、荻野のみ合格しました。
国家資格を持つとあるのは、医術開業試験ができる以前、資格がない頃に医者として活動していた人つはいたからです。
