Eunice D. Kinney (1851–1942; née, Draper; after first marriage, Gartley; after second marriage, Kinney) was a Canadian-born American physician who specialized in hypertrophic arthritis and neuritis.[1] She was born and passed her early years in a log cabin in New Brunswick. Her educational opportunities were so limited that up to the age of 21, she had attended school for only two and half years. Kinney graduated from the Boston Training School for Nurses (now, Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing) in 1881, obtained her medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Boston, in 1890, and her post-graduate degree from Tufts College Medical School in 1895. While working as a practicing physician, she engaged to some extent in literary work, editing several nursing and medical journals, and serving as a press correspondent.[2] Kinney was the first woman physician to testify as an expert before the U.S. circuit court.[3]
