In this post I will continue to focus on a woman named Sarah Parker Remond. She lived from 1826 - 1894. From October 1859 to June 1861, Sarah undertook studies at what was then called Bedford College. At the same time she continued to be involved in the abolitionist movement in Britain. She was a member first of the London Emancipation Committee, and then helped found and served on the executive committee of the Ladies' London Emancipation Society, which was organised in 1863.
Sarah continued her studies at the London University College, graduating as a nurse. In 1866, she left England and moved to Florence, Italy. She entered the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital School, one of the most prestigious medical schools in Europe, as a medical student. Sarah graduated in 1868. After completing her studies and becoming a doctor, she remained in Florence for many years, then resided in Rome. Sarah practiced medicine for more than 20 years, never returning to the United States.
In 1877, Sarah married Lazzaro Pintor, an Italian office worker originally from Sardinia. She died in 1895.
