rdf:langString Lucy M. Hall-Brown (née , Hall; November 1843 – August 1, 1907) was an American physician and writer. She was a general practitioner and keen on education. In 1876, she entered the University of Michigan for a medical course. Upon graduation in 1878, she served for six months as assistant physician under Dr. Eliza Maria Mosher at the Massachusetts Reformatory Prison for Women. She then pursued post-graduate work in New York City and London, being the first woman admitted to clinics in St Thomas' Hospital, London. Later, she became intern at the Royal Lying-in and Gynecological Hospital of Prof. Franz von Winckel in Dresden. Upon her arrival in Dresden, she knew scarcely any German, but after a month's study, she had acquired sufficient knowledge to warrant Dr. Winckel in admitting her to his hospital. On the completion of study and service abroad, in 1879, and while still in Dresden, she was appointed by Gov. Thomas Talbot, on Mosher's recommendation, resident-physician to the Massachusetts Reformatory and returned at once to take up the work. Later, she received but declined the appointment as superintendent. In 1883, Mosher, being appointed professor of physiology, hygiene and resident physician to Vassar College, asked to have Hall appointed to share the work, the two at this time starting a partnership, beginning their private work in Brooklyn and serving alternately at college. At the end of three years, Hall gave her entire time to practice in Brooklyn and continued so working until three years before her death. She was a member of the National Red Cross Society and also a delegate to the International Red Cross Congress at Karlsruhe in 1887, and Vienna in 1897. She was also Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, and vice-president of the American Social Science Association. She was a delegate to the International Congress of Medicine at Paris in 1900, and was frequently appointed by the New York Boards as an expert in medical jurisprudence.
