Born in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, she began her studies at the Mount Carroll Seminary (which later became Shimer College), continuing to Illinois State Normal University where she graduated in 1863.
She taught school and served as principal in Sterling, Illinois, but later moved to Chicago to study medicine at Women"s Hospital Medical College, where she obtained her Doctor of Medicine in 1874, having in the meantime also spent a year in England studying under Thomas Huxley. In 1875, she took up a professorship at the Women"s Hospital Medical College, which later became part of Northwestern University but was closed in 1892. In 1876, attending the American Medical Association convention as a delegate of the Illinois State Medical Society, she was accepted without controversy as the American Medical Association"s first female member.
In 1880 she co-founded the Illinois Training School for Nurses together with Lucy Flower.
She retired in 1903.
