- Abstract
- In this interview, Sarah Mazick Saklad describes working in Providence as a
teenager; her desire to attend medical school, against the wishes of her mother; and her
memories of World War I, including learning to knit, Armistice Day celebrations, and the
influenza epidemic of 1918. She also discusses the lack of financial aid for female students,
effects of the Great Depression, and her pre-med coursework at Brown. She remembers Lillian
Gilbreth's visit to Chapel, an exchange she had with Dr. J. Walter Wilson, and her
affection for Dean Morriss. The end of this interview focuses largely on women in medicine and
Saklad's own training and career.
