∙ 15y agoMignon Nicholson (Class of 1903) is the first known female veterinarian. Dr. Mignon Nicholson graduated from McKillip Veterinary College in Chicago. Drs. Elinor McGrath, Chicago Veterinary College, and Florence Kimball, Cornell University, graduated seven years later with their veterinary degrees. Drs. McGrath and Kimball are remembered as pioneers not just because they were women, but also because they chose a type of veterinary practice that was uncommon at the time, they were small animal veterinarians. In 1910, most veterinary practice was so heavily tied to the farming industry, building a veterinary practice around pets was highly unusual. BOOK:

What did burrin turnbulle do to become the very first African American veterinarian?
To the best of my ability to research, "Burrin Turnbulle" is a fictitious name that was plastered across the Answers website as being the first female black veterinarian in the United States.
