Agnodice or Agnodike (Gr. Ἀγνοδίκη) was the earliest historical midwife mentioned among the ancient Greeks. She was a native of Athens, where it was forbidden by law for women or slaves to study medicine. According, however, to Hyginus, on whose authority alone the whole story rests, Agnodice disguised herself in men's clothing, and attended the lectures of a physician named Hierophilus, devoting herself chiefly to the study of midwifery and gynaecology.
Elizabeth Blackwell is known as the first modern day female doctor. She graduated from Geneva College in New York with a medical degree in 1849.
