Thursday Postcard Hunt | Doctors

Nadezhda Prokofyevna Suslova (Надежда Прокофьевна Суслова, 1843 – 1918) was Russia's first woman medical doctor. She arrived in Russia in 1854, and a year later received a diploma of Doctor in Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics.

"Not only was [Jane Wright's work scientific,
but it was visionary for the whole science of oncology."
Dr. Sandra Swain, The New York Times
Jane Cooke Wright (1919 – 2013) was a pioneering cancer researcher and surgeon, whose new chemo techniques saved millions of lives.

This postcard was matched with the most appropriate stamps:

Sent by Eduard (Russia) and Phillip (the USA).

    1. I think they don't dance, but follow Mrs. Suslova and run to study at the university.
